We analyze the spin-glass transition in a field in finite dimension [Formula: see text] below the upper critical dimension directly at zero temperature using a recently introduced perturbative loop expansion around the Bethe lattice solution. The expansion is generated by the so-called [Formula: see text]-layer construction, and it has [Formula: see text] as the associated small parameter. Computing analytically and numerically these nonstandard diagrams at first order in the [Formula: see text] expansion, we construct an [Formula: see text]-expansion around the upper critical dimension [Formula: see text], with [Formula: see text]. Following standard field theoretical methods, we can write a [Formula: see text] function, finding a new zero-temperature fixed-point associated with the spin-glass transition in a field in dimensions [Formula: see text]. We are also able to compute, at first order in the [Formula: see text]-expansion, the three independent critical exponents characterizing the transition, plus the correction-to-scaling exponent.

When an ideal gas expands isothermally, the disorder in the gas increases. From the molecular perspective, the gas molecules have more volume to move around in.
Consider an infinitesimal step in the expansion, which...
