Abstract: We study bosonic tensor field theories with sextic interactions in d<3 dimensions. We consider two models, with rank-3 and rank-5 tensors, and U(N)3 and O(N)5 symmetry, respectively. For both of them we consider two variations: one with standard short-range free propagator, and one with critical long-range propagator, such that the sextic interactions are marginal in any d<3. We derive the set of beta functions at large N, compute them explicitly at four loops, and identify the respective fixed points. We find that only the rank-3 models admit a melonic interacting fixed points, with real couplings and critical exponents: for the short-range model, we have a Wilson-Fisher fixed point with couplings of order sqrtepsilon, in d=3epsilon; for the long-range model, instead we have for any d<3 a line of fixed points, parametrized by a real coupling g1 (associated to the so-called wheel interaction). By standard conformal field theory methods, we then study the spectrum of bilinear operators associated to such interacting fixed points, and we find a real spectrum for small epsilon or small g1.
