Renormalization and Hyperscaling for Self-Avoiding Manifold Models
arXiv:cond-mat/9307059 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.72.311
Abstract
The renormalizability of the self-avoiding manifold (SAM) Edwards model is established. We use a new short distance multilocal operator product expansion (MOPE), which extends methods of local field theories to a large class of models with non-local singular interactions. This validates the direct renormalization method introduced before, as well as scaling laws. A new general hyperscaling relation for the configuration exponent gamma is derived. Manifolds at the Theta-point, and long range Coulomb interactions are briefly discussed.
