Abstract

We analyze the spin glass transition in a field in finite dimension DD below the upper critical dimension directly at zero temperature using a recently introduced perturbative loop expansion around the Bethe lattice solution. The expansion is generated by the so-called MM-layer construction, and it has 1/M1/M as the associated small parameter. Computing analytically and numerically these non-standard diagrams at first order in the 1/M1/M expansion, we construct an ϵ\epsilon-expansion around the upper critical dimension Duc=8D_\text{uc}=8, with ϵ=DucD\epsilon=D_\text{uc}-D. Following standard field theoretical methods, we can write a β\beta function, finding a new zero-temperature fixed-point associated with the spin glass transition in a field in dimensions D<8D<8. We are also able to compute, at first order in the ϵ\epsilon-expansion, the three independent critical exponents characterizing the transition, plus the correction-to-scaling exponent.
