Abstract. The critical exponent φ c , derived from the anomalous dimension of the bilinear operator responsible for crossover behaviour in O(N ) φ 4 theory, is calculated at O(1/N 2 ) in a large N expansion in arbitrary space-time dimension d = 4 − 2ǫ. Its ǫ expansion agrees with the known O(ǫ 4 ) perturbative expansion and new information on the structure of the five loop exponent is provided. Estimates of φ c and the related crossover exponents β c and γ c , using Padé-Borel resummation, are provided for a range of N in three dimensions.
