Abstract

We consider the non-Abelian bosonized Thirring model for a semi-simple group GG at level kk, with deformation parameter λ\lambda. We compute the two-point correlation functions of current and composite current operators to cubic order in λ\lambda, assuming large values of the quadratic Casimir cGc_G of the group GG in the adjoint representation. From these, we extract the β\beta-function and the anomalous dimensions of both the current and composite current operators, showing the absence of an additional critical point of order k/cGk/c_G. Our findings align with those of Destri & de Vega for the Fermionic non-Abelian Thirring model, but contradict the claim in Dashen & Frishman regarding the existence of an additional fixed point of order 1/cG1/c_G.
