摘要
We consider dimensional crossover for an O(N) model on a d-dimensional layered geometry of thickness L, in the sigma-model limit, using ``environmentally friendly'' renormalization. We show how to derive critical temperature shifts, giving explicit results to one loop. We also obtain expressions for the effective critical exponents delta and beta effective that interpolate between their characteristic fixed point values assocliated with a d and (d-1)-dimensional system in the limits T -> T_c(L), with L(T-T_c(L))^{\nu}->infty, and T->T_c(L) for L fixed respectively, where T_c(L) is the L-dependent critical temperature of the system.
