Abstract:The renormalized zero-momentum four-point coupling gr of O(N)-invariant scalar eld theories in d dimensions is studied by applying the 1=N expansion and strong coupling analysis.The O(1=N) correction to the -function and to the xed point value g r are explictly computed. Strong coupling series for lattice non-linear models are analyzed near criticality in d = 2 and d = 3 for several values of N and the corresponding values of g r are extracted.Large-N and strong coupling results are compared with each other, … Show more
“…Note that N does not play any role here, thus the critical behavior does not depend on N . It is natural to conjecture that the same behavior holds[61] allow us to obtain Jc(κ → ∞) = b∞ + b∞,1N −1 + O(N −2 ), with b∞ = 0.252731... and b∞,1 ≈ −0.0585.…”

“…We also report the nature of the transition: FO and O(n) indicate a first-order transition and a continuous transition in the O(n) vector universality class, respectively. The estimates of Jc for κ → ∞ for 7 ≤ N ≤ 20 are obtained by interpolating the results of Ref [61]. for the lattice O(n) vector model (the uncertainty on these interpolations is safely below 1 on the last reported digit).…”

“…Specifically in sigma-models with a compact global symmetry group the expansion is known to be an asymptotic expansion [1] and when slightly ad hoc applied to low orders at fixed small N sometimes gives surprisingly accurate results, see e.g. [2,3] for the renormalized coupling. In a lattice formulation one starts off on a finite lattice, the associated 'finite volume' mass gap then is uniformly bounded away from zero, and in the large N series for invariant correlation functions the limit of infinite lattice size (also called the thermodynamic limit) can safely be taken termwise.…”
Noncompact SO(1, N) sigma-models are studied in terms of their large N expansion in a lattice formulation in dimensions d ≥ 2. Explicit results for the spin and current two-point functions as well as for the Binder cumulant are presented to next to leading order on a finite lattice. The dynamically generated gap is negative and serves as a coupling-dependent infrared regulator which vanishes in the limit of infinite lattice size. The cancellation of infrared divergences in invariant correlation functions in this limit is nontrivial and is in d = 2 demonstrated by explicit computation for the above quantities. For the Binder cumulant the thermodynamic limit is finite and is given by 2/(N +1) in the order considered. Monte Carlo simulations suggest that the remainder is small or zero. The potential implications for "criticality" and "triviality" of the theories in the SO(1, N) invariant sector are discussed. * Membre du CNRS
“…We thus recover the O(2N ) vector model. For N = 2 the relevant model is the O(4) model, which has a transition at [38][39][40] J c = 0.233965 (2). Estimates of the O(4) critical exponents can be found in Refs.…”
Section: Phase Diagram and Critical Behaviorsmentioning
We study the effects of gauge-symmetry breaking (GSB) perturbations in three-dimensional lattice gauge theories with scalar fields. We study this issue at transitions in which gauge correlations are not critical and the gauge symmetry only selects the gauge-invariant scalar degrees of freedom that become critical. A paradigmatic model in which this behavior is realized is the lattice CP 1 model or, more generally, the lattice Abelian-Higgs model with two-component complex scalar fields and compact gauge fields. We consider this model in the presence of a linear GSB perturbation. The gauge symmetry turns out to be quite robust with respect to the GSB perturbation: the continuum limit is gauge-invariant also in the presence of a finite small GSB term. We also determine the phase diagram of the model. It has one disordered phase and two phases that are tensor and vector ordered, respectively. They are separated by continuous transition lines, which belong to the O(3), O(4), and O(2) vector universality classes, and which meet at a multicritical point. We remark that the behavior at the CP 1 gauge-symmetric critical point substantially differs from that at transitions in which gauge correlations become critical, for instance at transitions in the noncompact lattice Abelian-Higgs model that are controlled by the charged fixed point: in this case the behavior is extremely sensitive to GSB perturbations.
