Abstract

The critical exponents νL2,ηL2\nu_{L2}, \eta_{L2} and γL2\gamma_{L2} of a uniaxial Lifshitz point are calculated at two-loop level using renormalization group and ϵL\epsilon_{L}-expansion techniques. We found a new constraint involving the loop momenta along the competition axis, which allows to solve the two-loop integrals. The exponent γL2\gamma_{L2} obtained using our method is in good agreement with numerical estimates based on Monte Carlo simulations.
