Abstract

The tensorial equations for non trivial fully interacting fixed points at lowest order in the ε\varepsilon expansion in 4ε4-\varepsilon and 3ε3-\varepsilon dimensions are analysed for NN-component fields and corresponding multi-index couplings λ\lambda which are symmetric tensors with four or six indices. Both analytic and numerical methods are used. For N=5,6,7N=5,6,7 in the four-index case large numbers of irrational fixed points are found numerically where λ2||\lambda ||^2 is close to the bound found by Rychkov and Stergiou in arXiv:1810.10541. No solutions, other than those already known, are found which saturate the bound. These examples in general do not have unique quadratic invariants in the fields. For N6N \geqslant 6 the stability matrix in the full space of couplings always has negative eigenvalues. In the six index case the numerical search generates a very large number of solutions for N=5N=5.
