The a-function in six dimensions
read the original abstract
The a-function is a proposed quantity defined in even dimensions which has a monotonic behaviour along RG flows, related to the beta-functions via a gradient flow equation. We study the a-function for a general scalar theory in six dimensions, using the beta-functions up to three-loop order for both the MSbar and MOM schemes (the latter presented here for the first time at three loops).

Matching $A$ with $F$ in long-range QFTs
In long-range non-unitary φ^4 models the RG flow obeys a gradient structure up to three loops, with A matching the sphere free energy F̃ at leading order.
