Description

O(N) x O(2) model furnishes an example of a system where unitary fixed points exist in a range of N above some N_c(d), where N_c(d) is a rapidly varying function. I will describe how N_c(d) can be found using the conformal bootstrap. Joint work with Marten Reehorst, Balt van Rees, and Benoit Sirois.
