Abstract

We study the scalar ϕ3\phi^3 theory above six dimensions. The beta function β(g)=ϵg34g3\beta(g)=-\epsilon g-\frac{3}{4}g^3 in d=62ϵd=6-2\epsilon dimensions has a UV fixed point when ϵ<0\epsilon<0. Like the O(N)O(N) vector models above four dimensions, such a fixed point observed perturbatively in fact corresponds to a pair of complex CFTs separated by a branch cut. Using both the numerical bootstrap method and Gliozzi's fusion rule truncation method, we argue that the fixed points of the ϕ3\phi^3 theory above six dimensions exist.
