Abstract

Recently a conformally invariant action describing the Wilson-Fischer fixed point in D=4ϵD=4-\epsilon dimensions in the presence of a {\em finite} UV cutoff was constructed \cite{Dutta}. In the present paper we construct two composite operator perturbations of this action with definite scaling dimension also in the presence of a finite cutoff. Thus the operator (as well as the fixed point action) is well defined at all momenta 0p0\leq p\leq \infty and at low energies they reduce to xϕ2\int_x \phi^2 and xϕ4\int _x \phi^4 respectively. The construction includes terms up to O(\lamda2)O(\lamda^2). In the presence of a finite cutoff they mix with higher order irrelevant operators. The dimensions are also calculated to this order and agree with known results.
