Feynman-Graph Expansion for Critical Exponents

Abstract

The critical exponents $\ensuremath{\gamma}$, $\ensuremath{\eta}$ and the "crossover index" $\ensuremath{\phi}$ are computed for generalized classical Heisenberg models with $n$ internal degrees of freedom as an exact expansion in $\ensuremath{\epsilon}=4\ensuremath{-}d$ ($d$ is the number of space dimensions). Results are obtained to order ${\ensuremath{\epsilon}}^{2}$ for $\ensuremath{\gamma}$ and to order ${\ensuremath{\epsilon}}^{3}$ for $\ensuremath{\eta}$. The results to this order for the three-dimensional Ising case ($n=\ensuremath{\epsilon}=1$) are $\ensuremath{\gamma}=1.244$ and $\ensuremath{\eta}=0.037$.
