Three-loop renormalization group analysis of a complex model with stable fixed point: Critical exponents up to $\epsilon^3$ and $\epsilon^4$
Abstract
The complete analysis of a model with three quartic coupling constants associated with an O(2N)--symmetric, a cubic, and a tetragonal interactions is carried out within the three-loop approximation of the renormalization-group (RG) approach in dimensions. Perturbation expansions for RG functions are calculated using dimensional regularization and the minimal subtraction (MS) scheme. It is shown that for the model does possess a stable fixed point in three dimensional space of coupling constants, in accordance with predictions made earlier on the base of the lower-order approximations. Numerical estimate for critical (marginal) value of the order parameter dimensionality is given using Pad\'e-Borel summation of the corresponding --expansion series obtained. It is observed that two-fold degeneracy of the eigenvalue exponents in the one-loop approximation for the unique stable fixed point leads to the substantial decrease of the accuracy expected within three loops and may cause powers of to appear in the expansions. The critical exponents and are calculated for all fixed points up to and , respectively, and processed by the Borel summation method modified with a conformal mapping. For the unique stable fixed point the magnetic susceptibility exponent for N=2 is found to differ in third order in from that of an O(4)--symmetric point. Qualitative comparison of the results given by --expansion, three-dimensional RG analysis, non-perturbative RG arguments, and experimental data is performed.
