Abstract

The exact renormalized-group equation for a local free energy functional is investigated for arbitrary dimensiond of space in the interval 2≤d≤4. There is found to be a unique physical branch of the solutiond=3 for a stable fixed point, and the properties of this solution are investigated. Ford<3 there are found to be additional branches of the solution corresponding to multicritical behavior described by (ϕ 2)k theories of different ordersk.
