Abstract

The RG functions of the 2D n-vector ϕ4 model are calculated in the five-loop approximation. Perturbative series for the β function and critical exponents are resummed by the Pade-Borel and Pade-Borel-Leroy techniques, resummation procedures are optimized and an accuracy of the numerical results is estimated. In the Ising case n = 1 as well as in the others (n = 0, n = -1, n = 2, 3,...32) an account for the five-loop term is found to shift the Wilson fixed point location only briefly, leaving it outside the segment formed by the results of the corresponding lattice calculations; even error bars of the RG and lattice estimates do not overlap in the most cases studied. This is argued to reflect the influence of the singular (non-analytical) contribution to the β function that can not be found perturbatively. The evaluation of the critical exponents for n = 1, n = 0 and n = -1 in the five-loop approximation and comparison of the numbers obtained with their known exact counterparts confirm the conclusion that non-analytical contributions are visible in two dimensions.
