Compatibility of 1/nand ϵ expansions for critical exponents atm-axial Lifshitz points

Mykola A. Shpot, H W Diehl, Yu. M. Pis’mak

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 (2005)] of the correlation exponents η_{L2}, η_{L4} and the related anisotropy exponent θare fully consistent with the dimensionality expansions to second order in ε=4+m/2-d [Phys. Rev. B 62, 12338 (2000); Nucl. Phys. B 612, 340 (2001)] inasmuch as both expansions yield the same contributions of order ε^2/n.

Critical, crossover and correction-to-scaling exponents for isotropic Lifshitz points to order (8 $ndash$ d)2

Hans Werner Diehl, Mykola A. Shpot

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 ν and η, the crossover exponent φ, as well as the (related) wave vector exponent β q and the correction-to-scaling exponent ω to second order in 8 = 8 − d . They are compared with the authors' recent -expansion results (2000 Phys. Rev. B 62 12338, 2001 Nucl. Phys. B 612 340) for the general case of an m -axial Lifshitz point. It is shown that the expansions obtained here by a direct calculation for the isotropic ( m = d ) Lifshitz point all follow from the latter upon setting m = 8 − 8 . This is so despite recent claims to the contrary by de Albuquerque and Leite (2002 J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 35 1807).

(m,d,N)=(1,3,2) Lifshitz point and the three-dimensional XY universality class studied by high-temperature bivariate series for XY models with anisotropic competing interactions

P. Butera, M. Pernici

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 spatially isotropic or anisotropic (in particular uniaxial) interactions among next-to-nearest-neighbor spins. The expansions, calculated for cubic lattices of dimensions $d=1$, 2, and 3, are expressed in terms of the two variables ${K}_{1}={J}_{1}/kT$ and ${K}_{2}={J}_{2}/kT$, where ${J}_{1}$ and ${J}_{2}$ are the nearest-neighbor and the next-to-nearest-neighbor exchange couplings, respectively. This paper deals in particular with the properties of the $d=3$ uniaxial $XY$ model (ANNNXY model) for which the bivariate expansions have been computed through the 18th order, thus extending by 12 orders the results so far available and making a study of this model possible over a wide range of values of the competition parameter $R={J}_{2}/{J}_{1}$. Universality with respect to $R$ on the critical line separating the paramagnetic and the ferromagnetic phases can be verified, and at the same time the very accurate determination $\ensuremath{\gamma}=1.3177(5)$ and $\ensuremath{\nu}=0.6726(8)$ of the critical exponents of the susceptibility and of the correlation length, in the three-dimensional $XY$ universality class, can be achieved. For the exponents at the multicritical $(m,d,N)=(1,3,2)$ Lifshitz point the estimates ${\ensuremath{\gamma}}_{l}=1.535(25)$, ${\ensuremath{\nu}}_{\ensuremath{\perp}}=0.805(15)$, and ${\ensuremath{\nu}}_{\ensuremath{\parallel}}=0.40(3)$ are obtained. Finally, the susceptibility exponent is estimated along the boundary between the disordered and the modulated phases.

Critical, crossover and correction-to-scaling exponents for isotropic Lifshitz points to order (8 ndashndashndash d)2
