Abstract
We study bosonic tensor field theories with sextic interactions in d < 3 dimensions. We consider two models, with rank-3 and rank-5 tensors, and U(N)3 and O(N)5 symmetry, respectively. For both of them we consider two variations: one with standard short-range free propagator, and one with critical long-range propagator, such that the sextic interactions are marginal in any d < 3. We derive the set of beta functions at large N , compute them explicitly at four loops, and identify the respective fixed points. We find that only the rank-3 models admit melonic interacting fixed points, with real couplings and critical exponents: for the short-range model, we have a Wilson-Fisher fixed point with couplings of order \( \sqrt{\epsilon } \), in d = 3 − ϵ; for the long-range model, instead we have for any d < 3 a line of fixed points, parametrized by a real coupling g1 (associated to the so-called wheel interaction). By standard conformal field theory methods, we then study the spectrum of bilinear operators associated to such interacting fixed points, and we find a real spectrum for small ϵ or small g1.
