Abstract

We calculate the two-loop contributions to the $\ensuremath{\beta}$ functions for the Yukawa coupling constant $G$ and the four-scalar coupling constant $\ensuremath{\lambda}$ in the linear $\ensuremath{\sigma}$ model using a mass-independent renormalization scheme. The results are used to obtain a correction to the infrared fixed point value for $\frac{\ensuremath{\lambda}}{{G}^{2}}$. We argue that this is the leading correction to the fixed point value for this ratio in the regime of fine-tuning, and use our results to complete a calculation of the ratio of the $\ensuremath{\sigma}$ mass to the fermion mass to order ${G}^{2}$. Our calculation also applies to the Nambu---Jona-Lasinio model.
