Abstract

We show how to compute the probability distributions of the order parameter of the O(n)O(n) model at two-loop order of perturbation theory generalizing the methods developed for computing the same in case of the Ising model \cite{Sahu:2025bkp}. We show that even for the O(n)O(n) model, there exists not one but a family of these probability distribution functions indexed by ζ\zeta which is the ratio of system size LL to the bulk correlation length ξ\xi_{\infty}. We also compare these PDFs to the Monte-Carlo simulations and the existing FRG results for the O(2)O(2) and O(3)O(3) models.
