Abstract
By considering the renormalization group flow between N coupled Ising models in the UV and the cubic fixed point in the IR, we study the large N behavior of the cubic fixed points in three dimensions. We derive a diagrammatic expansion for the 1/N corrections to correlation functions. Leading large N corrections to conformal dimensions at the cubic fixed point are then evaluated using numeric conformal bootstrap data for the 3d Ising model.
