Abstract

The formalism of projection Hamiltonians is applied to the N-component O(N)-invariant ϕ4 model in the Euclidean and p-adic spaces. We use two versions of the ε-expansion (with ε = 4 − d and with ε = α − 3d/2, where α is the renormalization group parameter) and evaluate the critical indices ν and η up to the second order of the perturbation theory. The results for the (4− d)-expansion then coincide with the known results obtained via the quantum-field renormalization-group methods. Our calculations give evidence that in dimension three, both expansions describe the same non-Gaussian fixed point of the renormalization group.
