Universal scaling dimensions for highly irrelevant operators in the Local Potential Approximation
Abstract
We study -dimensional scalar field theory in the Local Potential Approximation of the functional renormalization group. Sturm-Liouville methods allow the eigenoperator equation to be cast as a Schrodinger-type equation. Combining solutions in the large field limit with the Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin approximation, we solve analytically for the scaling dimension of high dimension potential-type operators around a non-trivial fixed point. We find that to leading order in as , where is the scaling dimension of the field, , and determine the power-law growth of the subleading correction. For invariant scalar field theory, the scaling dimension is just double this, for all fixed and additionally for These results are universal, independent of the choice of cutoff function which we keep general throughout, subject only to some weak constraints.
