Universal sextic effective interaction at criticality

The renormalization group approach in three dimensions is used to estimate the universal critical value g_6^* of the dimensionless sextic effective coupling constant for the Ising model. The four-loop RG expansion for g_6 is calculated and resummed by means of the Pade-Borel and Pade-Borel-Leroy procedures resulting in g_6^* = 1.596, while the most accurate estimate for g_6^* is argued to be equal to 1.61.Comment: 6 pages, TeX, no figure

Towards deterministic equations for Levy walks: the fractional material derivative

Levy walks are random processes with an underlying spatiotemporal coupling. This coupling penalizes long jumps, and therefore Levy walks give a proper stochastic description for a particle's motion with broad jump length distribution. We derive a generalized dynamical formulation for Levy walks in which the fractional equivalent of the material derivative occurs. Our approach will be useful for the dynamical formulation of Levy walks in an external force field or in phase space for which the description in terms of the continuous time random walk or its corresponding generalized master equation are less well suited

Five-loop renormalization-group expansions for the three-dimensional n-vector cubic model and critical exponents for impure Ising systems

The renormalization-group (RG) functions for the three-dimensional n-vector cubic model are calculated in the five-loop approximation. High-precision numerical estimates for the asymptotic critical exponents of the three-dimensional impure Ising systems are extracted from the five-loop RG series by means of the Pade-Borel-Leroy resummation under n = 0. These exponents are found to be: \gamma = 1.325 +/- 0.003, \eta = 0.025 +/- 0.01, \nu = 0.671 +/- 0.005, \alpha = - 0.0125 +/- 0.008, \beta = 0.344 +/- 0.006. For the correction-to-scaling exponent, the less accurate estimate \omega = 0.32 +/- 0.06 is obtained.Comment: 11 pages, LaTeX, no figures, published versio

Strong decays and dipion transitions of Upsilon(5S)

Dipion transitions of $\Upsilon (nS)$ with $n=5, n'=1,2,3$ are studied using the Field Correlator Method, applied previously to dipion transitions with $n=2,3,4$ The only two parameters of effective Lagrangian were fixed in that earlier study, and total widths $\Gamma_{\pi\pi} (5, n')$ as well as pionless decay widths $\Gamma_{BB} (5S), \Gamma_{BB^*} (5S), \Gamma_{B^*B^*}(5S)$ and $\Gamma_{KK} (5, n')$ were calculated and are in a reasonable agreement with experiment. The experimental $\pi\pi$ spectra for $(5,1)$ and (5,2) transitions are well reproduced taking into account FSI in the $\pi\pi$.Comment: 16 pages, 6 figure

Critical thermodynamics of two-dimensional N-vector cubic model in the five-loop approximation

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 Pade-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.В рамках теоретико-польового підходу ренормалізаційної групи (РГ) вивчається критична поведінка двовимірної N-векторної кубічної моделі. β функції і критичні показники обчислюються в п’ятипетлевому наближенні, отримані РГ ряди пересумовуються з використанням техніки Паде-Бореля-Лєруа і конформного перетворення. Знайдено, що для N = 2 неперервна лінія нерухомих точок добре відтворюється пересумованими РГ рядами і врахування п’ятипетлевих членів робить лінії нулів обох β функцій ближчими один до одного. Показано, що для N > 3 п’яти-петлеві внески зсувають кубічну нерухому точку, отриману в чотири-петлевому наближенні, до нерухомої точки Ізинґа. Це підтверджує ідею, що існування кубічної нерухомої точки в двох вимірах під N > 2 є результатом пертурбативного аналізу. У випадку N = 0 отримані результати є сумісні з висновком, що критична поведінка, пов’язана з домішками, контролюється нерухомою точкою Ізинґа

Stability of critical behaviour of weakly disordered systems with respect to the replica symmetry breaking

A field-theoretic description of the critical behaviour of the weakly disordered systems is given. Directly, for three- and two-dimensional systems a renormalization analysis of the effective Hamiltonian of model with replica symmetry breaking (RSB) potentials is carried out in the two-loop approximation. For case with 1-step RSB the fixed points (FP's) corresponding to stability of the various types of critical behaviour are identified with the use of the Pade-Borel summation technique. Analysis of FP's has shown a stability of the critical behaviour of the weakly disordered systems with respect to RSB effects and realization of former scenario of disorder influence on critical behaviour.Comment: 10 pages, RevTeX.

Five-loop \sqrt\epsilon-expansions for random Ising model and marginal spin dimensionality for cubic systems

The \sqrt\epsilon-expansions for critical exponents of the weakly-disordered Ising model are calculated up to the five-loop order and found to possess coefficients with irregular signs and values. The estimate n_c = 2.855 for the marginal spin dimensionality of the cubic model is obtained by the Pade-Borel resummation of corresponding five-loop \epsilon-expansion.Comment: 9 pages, TeX, no figure

Chiral phase transitions: focus driven critical behavior in systems with planar and vector ordering

The fixed point that governs the critical behavior of magnets described by the $N$-vector chiral model under the physical values of $N$ ($N =2, 3$) is shown to be a stable focus both in two and three dimensions. Robust evidence in favor of this conclusion is obtained within the five-loop and six-loop renormalization-group analysis in fixed dimension. The spiral-like approach of the chiral fixed point results in unusual crossover and near-critical regimes that may imitate varying critical exponents seen in physical and computer experiments.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures.

Cumulant ratios and their scaling functions for Ising systems in strip geometries

We calculate the fourth-order cumulant ratio (proposed by Binder) for the two-dimensional Ising model in a strip geometry L x oo. The Density Matrix Renormalization Group method enables us to consider typical open boundary conditions up to L=200. Universal scaling functions of the cumulant ratio are determined for strips with parallel as well as opposing surface fields.Comment: 4 pages, RevTex, one .eps figure; references added, format change
