We identify the large $N$ limiting law of a collection of Wick renormalized $O(N)$ invariant observables. In particular, under a suitable scaling, the quadratic observables converge in the large $N$ limit to a mean-zero (singular) Gaussian field denoted by $\\mathcal{Q}$ with an explicit covariance; and the observables which are renormalized powers of order $2n$ converge in the large $N$ limit to suitably renormalized $n$-th powers of $\\mathcal{Q}$. The quartic interaction term of the model has no effect on the large $N$ limit of the field, but has nontrivial contributions to the limiting law of the observables, and the renormalization of the $n$-th powers of $\\mathcal{Q}$ in the limit has an interesting finite shift from the standard one. Furthermore, we derive the $1/N$ asymtotic expansion for the $k$-point functions of the quadratic observables by employing graph representations and analyzing the order of each graph from Dyson--Schwinger equations. Finally, turning to the stationary solutions to the stochastic quantization equations, with the Ornstein--Uhlenbeck process being the large $N$ limit, we derive here its next order correction in stationarity, as described by an SPDE with the right-hand side having explicit marginal law which involves the above field $\\mathcal{Q}$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-06-08T12:57:34.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "invariant observables", "th powers", "wick renormalized linear sigma model", "dyson-schwinger equations", "quadratic observables converge" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 53, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
