We study long-range models based on the fractional Laplacian, with spin-spin interactions or walk step probabilities decaying with distance $r$ as $r^{-(d+\\alpha)}$ with $\\alpha \\in (0,2)$. The upper critical dimension is $d_c=2\\alpha$. For $\\epsilon >0$, and $\\alpha = \\frac 12 (d+\\epsilon)$, the dimension $d=d_c-\\epsilon$ is below the upper critical dimension. For small $\\epsilon$, weak coupling, and all integers $n \\ge 0$, we prove that the two-point function at the critical point decays with distance as $r^{-(d-\\alpha)}$. This \"sticking\" of the critical exponent at its mean-field value was first predicted in the physics literature in 1972. Our proof is based on a rigorous renormalisation group method. The treatment of observables differs from that used in recent work on the nearest-neighbour 4-dimensional case, via our use of a cluster expansion.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-05-23T21:22:29.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "82B28", "82B27", "82B20", "60K35" ], "keywords": [ "upper critical dimension", "critical two-point function", "study long-range models", "lattice spin model", "rigorous renormalisation group method" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 30, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
