Critical exponents of the random-field O(N) model

Abstract:
The critical behavior of the random-field Ising model has long been a puzzle. Different methods predict that its critical exponents in D dimensions are the same as in the pure (D-2)-dimensional ferromagnet with the same number of the magnetization components contrary to the experiments and simulations. We calculate the exponents of the random-field O(N) model with the (4+epsilon)-expansion and obtain values different from the exponents of the pure ferromagnet in 2+epsilon dimensions. An infinite set of relevant operators missed in previous studies leads to a breakdown of the (6-epsilon)-expansion.

Random Variables
Uppercase letters such as X or Y denote a random variable. Lowercase letters like x or y denote the value of a random variable. If X is a random variable, then X is written in words, and x is given as a number.
For example, let X = the...
