Background:

Understanding the complex phase transitions in liquid helium-3 (3He) is crucial for low-temperature physics.
Previous models have limitations in quantitatively describing these transitions.

Purpose of the Study:

To quantitatively describe the phase transitions of liquid 3He.
To investigate the behavior at the triple point and identify potential universal characteristics.
To propose experiments for determining effective interactions between fermion pairs.

Main Methods:

Utilizing truncations of an exact nonperturbative renormalization group equation.
Computing the location of first-order transition lines.
Calculating the jump in the order parameter.

Main Results:

Quantitative description of liquid 3He phase transitions.
Accurate computation of first-order transition lines and order parameter jumps.
Evidence of partially universal behavior observed at the triple point.

Conclusions:

The renormalization group approach provides a successful framework for describing liquid 3He phase transitions.
The findings at the triple point suggest underlying universal physics.
Experimental verification is proposed to further elucidate fermion pair interactions.
