Abstract
It has been shown by several authors that a certain class of composite operators with many fields and gradients endangers the stability of non-trivial fixed points in 2 + ϵ expansions for various models. This problem is up to now unresolved. We investigate it in the N-vector model in an 1/ N expansion. By establishing an asymptotic naive addition law for anomalous dimensions we demonstrate that the first orders in the 2 + ϵ expansion can lead to erroneous interpretations for high-gradient operators. While this makes us cautious to over-interpret such expansions (either 2 + ϵ or 1/ N), the stability problem in the N-vector model persists also in first order in 1/ N below three dimensions.
