at: 13:00 room K2.40 abstract: | I will discuss the two-dimensional O(n) model for a continuous range of n. It can be defined non-perturbatively for any n as an infrared limit of certain lattice loop models, which in the IR give rise to two families of CFTs. For n<2 these CFTs are logarithmic, while for n>2 they are also complex. For n<2 the RG flow to the fixed points violates the straightforward notion of naturalness and appears tuned. |
