The multicritical point at which both a 3-component and a 2-component order parameters order simultaneously in 3 dimensions is shown to have the critical behavior of the decoupled fixed point, with separate n=3 and n=2 behavior. This…
We study the scaling behavior of period doublings in two unidirectionally-coupled one-dimensional maps near a bicritical point where two critical lines of period-doubling transition to chaos in both subsystems meet. Note that the bicritical…
We reconsider critical properties of O(N) scalar models with cubic interactions in $d>4$ dimensions using functional renormalization group equations. Working at next-to-leading order in the derivative expansion, we find non-trivial IR fixed…

The field-theoretical renormalization group approach in three dimensions is used to estimate the universal critical values of renormalized coupling constants g_6 and g_8 for the O(n)-symmetric model. The RG series for g_6 and g_8 are…
Using a renormalization method, we study the critical behavior for intermittency in two coupled one-dimensional (1D) maps. We find two fixed maps of the renormalization transformation. They all have common relevant eigenvalues associated…
We present a general framework for understanding and analyzing critical behaviour in gravitational collapse. We adopt the method of renormalization group, which has the following advantages. (1) It provides a natural explanation for various…

Recent work on exact renormalization group flow equations has pointed out the possibility to study critical phenomena in continuous dimension D of space. In an investigation of the O(N) model the dimension N of the fields may be seen as a…
We adopt a combination of analytical and numerical methods to study the renormalization group flow of the most general field theory with quartic interaction in $d=4-\epsilon$ with $N=3$ and $N=4$ scalars. For $N=3$, we find that it admits…
We consider infinitely renormalizable unimodal mappings with topological type which is periodic under renormalization. We study the limiting behavior of fixed points of the renormalization operator as the order of the critical point…
The infinite disorder fixed point of the random transverse-field Ising model is expected to control the critical behavior of a large class of random quantum and stochastic systems having an order parameter with discrete symmetry. Here we…
Universality, encompassing critical exponents, scaling functions, and dimensionless quantities, is fundamental to phase transition theory. In finite systems, universal behaviors are also expected to emerge at the pseudocritical point.…
Tensor models generalize the matrix-model approach to 2-dimensional quantum gravity to higher dimensions. Some models allowing a $1/N$ expansion have been explored, most of them generating branched-polymer geometries. Recently, enhancements…
Two and three point functions of composite operators are analysed with regard to (logarithmically) divergent contact terms. Using the renormalisation group of dimensional regularisation it is established that the divergences are governed by…
An action with $n$ parameters, which generalizes the $O(N) - R P^{N-1}$ -model, is considered in one dimension for general $N$. We use asymptotic expansion techniques to determine where the model becomes critical and show that for the…
Lifshitz points are multicritical points at which a disordered phase, a homogeneous ordered phase, and a modulated ordered phase meet. Their bulk universality classes are described by natural generalizations of the standard $\phi^4$ model.…
We study how universality classes of O(N)-symmetric models depend continuously on the dimension d and the number of field components N. We observe, from a renormalization group perspective, how the implications of the…
