Abstract

In this work, a second-order transport coefficient (the curvature-matter coupling κ\kappa) is calculated exactly for the 3+1d O(N) model at large N for any coupling value. Since the theory is `trivial' in the sense of possessing a Landau pole, the result for κ\kappa only is free from cut-off artifacts much below the Landau pole in the effective field theory sense. Nevertheless, this leaves a large range of coupling values where this transport coefficient can be determined non-perturbatively and analytically with little ambiguity. Along with thermodyamic results also calculated in this work, I expect exact large N results to provide good quantitative predictions for N=1 scalar field theory with ϕ4\phi^4 interaction.
