Abstract
We study real-time scalar -theory in 2+1 dimensions near criticality. Specifically, we compute the single-particle spectral function and that of the -channel four-point function in and outside the scaling regime. The computation is done with the spectral functional Callan-Symanzik equation, which exhibits manifest Lorentz invariance and preserves causality. We extract the scaling exponent from the spectral function and compare our result with that from a Euclidean fixed point analysis.
