The large-n expansion is applied to the calculation of thermal critical exponents describing the critical behavior of spatially anisotropic d-dimensional systems at m-axial Lifshitz points. We derive the leading nontrivial 1/n correction…
The critical behaviour of d-dimensional n-vector models at m-axial Lifshitz points is considered for general values of m in the large-n limit. It is proven that the recently obtained large-N expansions [J. Phys.: Condens. Matter 17, S1947…
The critical behavior of d-dimensional systems with an n-component order parameter is reconsidered at (m,d,n)-Lifshitz points, where a wave-vector instability occurs in an m-dimensional subspace of ${\mathbb R}^d$. Our aim is to sort out…
We employ the derivative expansion of the nonperturbative renormalization group to address the phenomenon of anisotropic scale invariance and the associated functional fixed points, also known as Lifshitz points, in systems characterized by…
A two-loop renormalization group analysis of the critical behaviour at an isotropic Lifshitz point is presented. Using dimensional regularization and minimal subtraction of poles, we obtain the expansions of the critical exponents $\nu$ and…
The presence of an isotropic tricritical Lifshitz point for the O(N) scalar theory is investigated in the 1/N expansion by means of the Functional Renormalization Group equations. At leading order, the non-trivial Lifshitz point is observed…
We investigate the critical behavior that d-dimensional systems with short-range forces and a n-component order parameter exhibit at Lifshitz points whose wave-vector instability occurs in a m-dimensional isotropic subspace of ${\mathbb…
The critical behavior of $d$-dimensional systems with $n$-component order parameter $\bm{\phi}$ is studied at an $m$-axial Lifshitz point where a wave-vector instability occurs in an $m$-dimensional subspace ${\mathbb R}^m$ ($m{>}1$). Field…
The critical behaviour of semi-infinite $d$-dimensional systems with short-range interactions and an O(n) invariant Hamiltonian is investigated at an $m$-axial Lifshitz point with an isotropic wave-vector instability in an $m$-dimensional…
The critical behavior of semi-infinite $d$-dimensional systems with $n$-component order parameter $\bm{\phi}$ and short-range interactions is investigated at an $m$-axial bulk Lifshitz point whose wave-vector instability is isotropic in an…
We present the critical exponents $\nu_{L2}$, $\eta_{L2}$ and $\gamma_{L}$ for an $m$-axial Lifshitz point at second order in an $\epsilon_{L}$ expansion. We introduced a constraint involving the loop momenta along the $m$-dimensional…
We present analytical results for the finite-size scaling in d--dimensional O(N) systems with strong anisotropy where the critical exponents (e.g. \nu_{||} and \nu_{\perp}) depend on the direction. Prominent examples are systems with…
New field theoretic renormalization group methods are developed to describe in a unified fashion the critical exponents of an m-fold Lifshitz point at the two-loop order in the anisotropic (m not equal to d) and isotropic (m=d close to 8)…
Logarithmic finite-size scaling of the O($n$) universality class at the upper critical dimensionality ($d_c=4$) has a fundamental role in statistical and condensed-matter physics and important applications in various experimental systems.…
We comment on a recent letter by L. C. de Albuquerque and M. M. Leite (J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 34 (2001) L327-L332), in which results to second order in $\epsilon=4-d+\frac{m}{2}$ were presented for the critical exponents…
Semi-infinite $d$-dimensional systems with an $m$-axial bulk Lifshitz point are considered whose ($d-1$)-dimensional surface hyper-plane is oriented perpendicular to one of the $m$ modulation axes. An $n$-component $\phi^4$ field theory…
High-temperature bivariate expansions have been derived for the two-spin correlation-function in a variety of classical lattice XY (planar rotator) models in which spatially isotropic interactions among first-neighbor spins compete with…
The recent theoretical prediction by Maimbourg and Kurchan [arXiv:1603.05023] that for regular pair-potential systems the virial potential-energy correlation coefficient increases towards unity as the dimension $d$ goes to infinity is…
The critical behaviour of $d$-dimensional semi-infinite systems with $n$-component order parameter $\bm{\phi}$ is studied at an $m$-axial bulk Lifshitz point whose wave-vector instability is isotropic in an $m$-dimensional subspace of…
The presence of isotropic Lifshitz points for a O(N)-symmetric scalar theory is investigated with the help of the Functional Renormalization Group. In particular, at the supposed lower critical dimension d=4, evidence for a continuous line…
