d'-Dimensional Defect in d-Dimensional Lattice. I: --Nonuniversal Local Critical Exponent in the Limit n-> --
R. Abe
Abstract
The n-vector model in a d-dimensional lattice is studied where a d′-dimensional defect exists. The defect is defined in such a way that the spin length there is different from that in other parts. The pair correlation function in the defect space is discussed in the limit n→∞. It is shown that if d′=2 a critical exponent η• pertaining to the critical correlation is nonuniversal; it does depend on λ where λ is a parameter describing the strength of defect. The η′ is calculated up to order of λ.
