Quasi-long-range order occurs only for $N=2$, and allows for several lines of fixed points meeting at the BKT transition point. A rich pattern of fixed points is present below $N^*=2.24421..$, while only zero temperature criticality in the $O(N(N+1)/2-1)$ universality class can occur above this value. The interpretation of an extra solution at $N=3$ requires the identitication of a path to criticality specific to this value of $N$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-01-08T16:09:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "critical points", "exact renormalization group fixed point", "renormalization group fixed point equations", "scale invariant scattering framework", "quasi-long-range order occurs" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
