Abstract

We study a model of N component symplectic fermions in D spacetime dimensions. It has an infra-red stable fixed point in 2<D<4 dimensions referred to as Sp{2N}{D}. Based on the comparison of exponents, we conjecture that the critical exponents for the 3D Wilson-Fisher fixed point for an O(N) invariant N-component bosonic field can be computed in the Sp{-2N}{3} theory. The 3D Ising model corresponds to Sp{-2}{3}. The exponent beta agrees with known results to 1 part in 1000 and is within current error bars. The nu exponent agrees to 1% and we suggest this because we only went to 1-loop for this exponent.
