Abstract.

The effect of the \(\mathcal{O}(\partial^{4})\) terms of the gradient expansion on the anomalous dimension \( \eta\) and the correlation length’s critical exponent \( \nu\) of the Wilson-Fisher fixed point has been determined for the Euclidean 3-dimensional O(N) models with \( N\ge 2\) . Wetterich’s effective average action renormalization group method is used with field-independent derivative couplings and Litim’s optimized regulator. It is shown that the critical theory is well approximated by the effective average action preserving O(N) symmetry with an accuracy of \(\mathcal{O}(\eta)\).
