By generalizing a previous treatment, local critical exponents β′, γ′ and ν′ in the defect space are studied in the limit n→∞. Actual calculations are carried out up to the order of λ. It is shown that these exponents satisfy usual scaling law relations up to this order.
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.
The local magnetisation of the three-dimensional n-vector model is studied near the large-scale d'-dimensional defect in the limit n to infinity . The model is characterised by the fact that the spin lengths close to the defect are changed as S r 2 =n(1- lambda /r) with the distance r from the defect. It is shown that near the critical point the local magnetisation exhibits a nonuniversal behaviour if d'=0, 1 and a nonscaling behaviour if d'=2. In the first case the critical exponents beta ' and nu ' are calculated up to the order of lambda and it is shown that these exponents satisfy the usual scaling law relations up to this order.
