Abstract
The critical behavior of the two-dimensional N -vector cubic model is studied within the field-theoretical renormalization-group (RG) approach.The β functions and critical exponents are calculated in the five-loop approximation, RG series obtained are resummed using Pad é-Borel-Leroy and conformal mapping techniques.It is found that for N = 2 the continuous line of fixed points is well reproduced by the resummed RG series and an account for the five-loop terms makes the lines of zeros of both β functions closer to each other.For N 3 the five-loop contributions are shown to shift the cubic fixed point, given by the four-loop approximation, towards the Ising fixed point.This confirms the idea that the existence of the cubic fixed point in two dimensions under N > 2 is an artifact of the perturbative analysis.In the case N = 0 the results obtained are compatible with the conclusion that the impure critical behavior is controlled by the Ising fixed point.
