We study scaling solutions of the RG flow equation for -effective potentials in a continuous dimension d ⩾ 2. As the dimension is lowered from d = 4 we first observe the appearance of the Ising scaling solution and successively the appearance of multi-critical scaling solutions of arbitrary order. Approaching d = 2 these multi-critical scaling solutions converge to the unitary minimal models found in conformal field theory.

Using pseudospectral techniques to solve functional renormalization group equations in a two-dimensional field space, a more intricate structure of fixed points in d<3 is uncovered, where two additional bicritical fixed points play a role.

Scalar field theories with $\mathbb{Z}_{2}$-symmetry are the traditional playground of critical phenomena. In this work these models are studied using functional renormalization group (FRG) equations
Infrared properties of scalar field theories
Phase transitions and critical phenomena are of central importance in quantum field theory and statistical physics. We investigate the low energy properties of O(N) symmetric scalar field theories
