    Renormalization Group Functions for Two-Dimensional Phase Transitions: To the Problem of Singular Contributions

    Full text link
    According to the available publications, the field theoretical renormalization group (RG) approach in the two-dimensional case gives the critical exponents that differ from the known exact values. This fact was attempted to explain by the existence of nonanalytic contributions in the RG functions. The situation is analysed in this work using a new algorithm for summing divergent series that makes it possible to analyse dependence of the results for the critical exponents on the expansion coefficients for RG functions. It has been shown that the exact values of all the exponents can be obtained with a reasonable form of the coefficient functions. These functions have small nonmonotonities or inflections, which are poorly reproduced in natural interpolations. It is not necessary to assume the existence of singular contributions in RG functions.Comment: PDF, 11 page

    Quantum Electrodynamics at Extremely Small Distances

    Full text link
    The asymptotics of the Gell-Mann - Low function in QED can be determined exactly, \beta(g)= g at g\to\infty, where g=e^2 is the running fine structure constant. It solves the problem of pure QED at small distances L and gives the behavior g\sim L^{-2}.Comment: Latex, 6 pages, 1 figure include

    Finite-size scaling from self-consistent theory of localization

    Full text link
    Accepting validity of self-consistent theory of localization by Vollhardt and Woelfle, we derive the finite-size scaling procedure used for studies of the critical behavior in d-dimensional case and based on the use of auxiliary quasi-1D systems. The obtained scaling functions for d=2 and d=3 are in good agreement with numerical results: it signifies the absence of essential contradictions with the Vollhardt and Woelfle theory on the level of raw data. The results \nu=1.3-1.6, usually obtained at d=3 for the critical exponent of the correlation length, are explained by the fact that dependence L+L_0 with L_0>0 (L is the transversal size of the system) is interpreted as L^{1/\nu} with \nu>1. For dimensions d\ge 4, the modified scaling relations are derived; it demonstrates incorrectness of the conventional treatment of data for d=4 and d=5, but establishes the constructive procedure for such a treatment. Consequences for other variants of finite-size scaling are discussed.Comment: Latex, 23 pages, figures included; additional Fig.8 is added with high precision data by Kramer et a

    Analytical realization of finite-size scaling for Anderson localization. Does the band of critical states exist for d>2?

    Full text link
    An analytical realization is suggested for the finite-size scaling algorithm based on the consideration of auxiliary quasi-1D systems. Comparison of the obtained analytical results with the results of numerical calculations indicates that the Anderson transition point is splitted into the band of critical states. This conclusion is supported by direct numerical evidence (Edwards and Thouless, 1972; Last and Thouless, 1974; Schreiber, 1985; 1990). The possibility of restoring the conventional picture still exists but requires a radical reinterpretetion of the raw numerical data.Comment: PDF, 11 page
