Abstract

The renormalization group functions are calculated in dimensions for the -theory with two coupling constants associated with an -symmetric and a cubic interaction. Divergences are removed by minimal subtraction. The critical exponents , , and are expanded up to order for the three nontrivial fixed points O(N)-symmetric, Ising, and cubic. The results suggest the stability of the cubic fixed point for , implying that the critical exponents seen in the magnetic transition of three-dimensional cubic crystals are of the cubic universality class. This is in contrast to earlier three-loop results which gave , and thus Heisenberg exponents. The numerical differences, however, are less than a percent making an experimental distinction of the universality classes very difficult.
