Abstract

We formally extend the CFT techniques introduced in arXiv:1505.00963, to ϕ2d0d02\phi^{\frac{2d_0}{d_0-2}} theory in d=d0ϵd=d_0-\epsilon dimensions and use it to compute anomalous dimensions near d0=3,4d_0=3, 4 in a unified manner. We also do a similar analysis of the O(N)O(N) model in three dimensions by developing a recursive combinatorial approach for OPE contractions. Our results match precisely with low loop perturbative computations. Finally, using 3-point correlators in the CFT, we comment on why the ϕ3\phi^3 theory in d0=6d_0=6 is qualitatively different.
