We study the $N=3$ case of the $CP^{N-1}$ model, which is a field theory of $N$ complex scalars in $3d$ coupled to an Abelian gauge field with $SU(N) \times U(1)$ global symmetry. Recent evidence suggests the $N=2$ theory is not critical,…

We discuss the systematics of power counting in general effective field theories, focussing on those that are nonrenormalizable at leading order. As an illuminating example we consider chiral perturbation theory gauged under the…
