Functional renormalization group approach to non-collinear magnets

Abstract

A functional renormalization group approach to dd-dimensional, NN-component, non-collinear magnets is performed using various truncations of the effective action relevant to study their long distance behavior. With help of these truncations we study the existence of a stable fixed point for dimensions between d=2.8d= 2.8 and d=4d=4 for various values of NN focusing on the critical value Nc(d)N_c(d) that, for a given dimension dd, separates a first order region for N<Nc(d)N<N_c(d) from a second order region for N>Nc(d)N>N_c(d). Our approach concludes to the absence of stable fixed point in the physical - N=2,3N=2,3 and d=3d=3 - cases, in agreement with ϵ=4d\epsilon=4-d-expansion and in contradiction with previous perturbative approaches performed at fixed dimension and with recent approaches based on conformal bootstrap program.
