abstract

We consider the $O(N)^3$ tensor model of Klebanov and Tarnopolsky \cite{Klebanov:2016xxf} in $d<4$ with a free covariance modified to fit the infrared conformal scaling. We study the renormalization group flow of the model using a Wilsonian approach valid in any $d$ (notably we do not require $d=4-\epsilon$ with small $\epsilon$). At large $N$, the tetrahedral coupling has a finite flow, hence it becomes a free parameter. The remaining flow can be parameterized by two couplings which do not mix. We show that, at leading order in $1/N$ but non perturbatively in the couplings, the beta functions stop at quadratic order in the pillow and double-trace couplings. We find four fixed points which depend parametrically on the tetrahedral coupling. For purely imaginary values of the latter we identify a real and \emph{infrared attractive} fixed point. We remark that an imaginary tetrahedral coupling is in fact natural from the onset as the tetrahedral invariant does not have any positivity property, and moreover in the large-$N$ limit beta functions depend on the square of the tetrahedral coupling, thus they remain real, as long as the other couplings stay real.

  1. Taxonomy of coupled minimal models from finite groups

    hep-th 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Classification and discovery of new fixed points for coupled minimal models with reduced symmetries from subgroups of S_N, including rigorous proofs for even N and examples with PSL_2(N) and Mathieu groups.

  2. Coupled minimal models revisited II: Constraints from permutation symmetry

    hep-th 2024-12 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    For coupled large-m minimal models with N=5,6,7, every permutation-charged current below spin 10 acquires an anomalous dimension, so the IR fixed points show no extended chiral algebra in that range.

  3. Melonic Dominance in Subchromatic Sextic Tensor Models

    hep-th 2019-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Sextic tensor models with O(N)^r symmetry and r<5 have exactly three maximally-single-trace interaction vertices, and each yields a large N limit dominated by (generalized) melonic diagrams.

  4. Asymptotic safety meets tensor field theory: towards a new class of gravity-matter systems

    hep-th 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Adding asymptotically safe gravity to the O(N)^3 tensor field theory converts its asymptotic freedom into an interacting fixed point at a non-zero quartic coupling.

    hep-th 2019-08 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    For the rank-4 φ6 tensorial group field theory, the authors derive a Ward-constrained renormalization group flow and report a nontrivial fixed point, but the fixed point's reported values violate their own consistency...

    hep-th 2019-07 unverdicted novelty 2.0 of 10

    Lecture notes introducing the 1/N expansion and melonic limit of tensor models, which yield new conformal field theories.
