Abstract
Recent work on exact renormalization group flow equations has pointed out the possibility to study critical phenomena in continuous dimension D of space. In an investigation of the O(N) model the dimension N of the fields may be seen as a continuous parameter as well. One may conjecture that a variation of D or N in the vicinity of a second order phase transition yields the same critical exponents as a variation of the temperature. A numerical computation confirms this.
