Abstract

The continuum limit ofZ N (N≧4) spin systems at the critical point is identified with a two-component massless scalar field with quartic self-interactionf αβγδ φ α φ β φ γ φ δ , withf αβγδ = 1/3 (δ αβ δ γδ +δ αγ δ βδ +δ αδ δ βγ ) ≡S αβγδ forN≧5 andf αβγδ =S αβγδ − 2/3δ αβ δ αγ δ αδ forN=4. The result is based on the study of the two and four-point irreducible correlation functions in the one-loop approximation.
