Abstract

For an anisotropic euclidean ϕ4\phi^4-theory with two interactions [u (\sum_{i=1^M {\phi}_i^2)^2+v \sum_{i=1}^M \phi_i^4] the β\beta-functions are calculated from five-loop perturbation expansions in d=4εd=4-\varepsilon dimensions, using the knowledge of the large-order behavior and Borel transformations. For ε=1\varepsilon=1, an infrared stable cubic fixed point for M3M \geq 3 is found, implying that the critical exponents in the magnetic phase transition of real crystals are of the cubic universality class. There were previous indications of the stability based either on lower-loop expansions or on less reliable Pad\'{e approximations, but only the evidence presented in this work seems to be sufficently convincing to draw this conclusion.
