Abstract
We show that Hertz theory of quantum criticality is incomplete as it misses anomalous non-local contributions to the interaction vertices. For antiferromagnetic quantum transitions, we found that the theory is renormalizable only if the dynamical exponent . The upper critical dimension is still , however the number of marginal vertices at is infinite. As a result, the theory has a finite anomalous exponent already at the upper critical dimension. We show that for the Gaussian fixed point splits into two non-Gaussian fixed points. For both fixed points, the dynamical exponent remains .
