Critical phenomena: Corrections to scaling behaviour

Jean Zinn‐Justin

Abstract In preceding chapters, while deriving the scaling behaviour of correlation functions, we have always kept only the leading term in the critical region. We examine now the different corrections to the leading behaviour. For instance, when we have solved the renormalizaton group (RG) equations, so far, we have neglected the small deviation of the effective coupling constant from its fixed-point value. Moreover, to establish RG equations, we have neglected corrections subleading by powers of the cut-off, and effects of other couplings of higher canonical dimensions. Subleading terms related to the value of the effective coupling constant which give the leading corrections, at least near four dimensions, can easily be derived from the solutions of the renormalization group (RG) equations and are discussed first. The situations below and at four dimensions (the upper-critical dimension) have to be examined separately. The second type of corrections involves additional considerations and is examined in the second part of the chapter. The last section is devoted to one physics application, provided by systems with strong dipolar forces, which have 3 as upper-critical dimension.

Implementations of the renormalization group

Julia M. Yeomans

Abstract In Chapter 8 we gave an introduction to the formalism of the renormalization group. A renormalization transformation changes the scale of a system by a factor b. Systems at criticality flow to fixed points under the transformation and their critical exponents and scaling behaviour are determined by linearizing the recursion equations about the fixed point. The aim of this chapter is two-fold: firstly to illustrate these ideas by giving several examples of renormalization group transformations and secondly to demonstrate the ways in which they can be used to calculate critical properties. Our examples are divided into three classes. In Section 9.1, we shall consider a one-dimensional model where the recursion relations can be written down exactly. The drawback of this as a canonical example is that any critical behaviour is at zero temperature. The decimation transformation presented in one dimension is an example of a real-space transformation and the second task, in Section 9.2, is to show how these may be used approximately to treat models in higher dimensions. Thirdly, in Section 9.5, we shall mention the E-expansion where the renormalization takes place in momentum space. This enables an understanding of the crossover to mean-field behaviour. However, the formalism is somewhat involved and the details are beyond the scope of this book.
