Conformal correlators in the critical $O(N)$ vector model

Abstract

We calculate a set of conformal correlators in the critical $O(N)$ vector model in $2<d<6$ dimensions. We focus on the correlators involving the Hubbard-Stratonovich field $s$, and its composite form $s^2$. In the process, we report a number of new calculations of diagrams involving the composite $s^2$ operator. Through the calculation of the $\langle s^2s^2s\rangle$ three-point function, we shed new light on a conjectured $s\rightarrow -s$ symmetry in the $s$ sector of the critical $O(N)$ vector model in $d=3$.
