Gradient Properties of Perturbative Multiscalar RG Flows to Six Loops
read the original abstract
The gradient property of the renormalisation group (RG) flow of multiscalar theories is examined perturbatively in $d=4$ and $d=4-\varepsilon$ dimensions. Such theories undergo RG flows in the space of quartic couplings $\lambda^I$. Starting at five loops, the relevant vector field that determines the physical RG flow is not the beta function traditionally computed in a minimal subtraction scheme in dimensional regularisation, but a suitable modification of it, the $B$ function. It is found that up to five loops the $B$ vector field is gradient, i.e. $B^I=G^{IJ}\partial A / \partial\lambda^J$ with $A$ a scalar and $G_{IJ}$ a rank-two symmetric tensor of the couplings. Up to five loops the beta function is also gradient, but it fails to be so at six loops. The conditions under which the $B$ function (and hence the RG flow) is gradient at six loops are specified, but their verification rests on a separate six-loop computation that remains to be performed.

Gradient RG Flow in Scalar-Fermion QFTs
RG flow in scalar-fermion theories is gradient through four loops only when the 'beta shift' is included, via over a thousand scheme-independent constraints that hold wherever current data allow a check.

$\phi^6$ at $6$ (and some $8$) loops in $3d$
Six-loop beta-function graphs for general ϕ⁶ theory in 3d are recalculated (differing from Hager, agreeing with recent work), with large-N eight-loop results, O(ε³) exponents, and gradient-flow linear relations.
