Abstract

We compute the three-loop beta functions of long-range multi-scalar models with general quartic interactions. The long-range nature of the models is encoded in a kinetic term with a Laplacian to the power 0<ζ<10<\zeta<1, rendering the computation of Feynman diagrams much harder than in the usual short-range case (ζ=1\zeta=1). As a consequence, previous results stopped at two loops, while six-loop results are available for short-range models. We push the renormalization group analysis to three loops, in an ϵ=4ζd\epsilon=4\zeta-d expansion at fixed dimension d<4d<4, extensively using the Mellin-Barnes representation of Feynman amplitudes in the Schwinger parametrization. We then specialize the beta functions to various models with different symmetry groups: O(N)O(N), (Z2)NSN(\mathbb{Z}_2)^N \rtimes S_N, and O(N)×O(M)O(N)\times O(M). For such models, we compute the fixed points and critical exponents.
