Operator Product Expansions and Consistency Relations in a O(N) Invariant Fermionic CFT for 2<d<4

Abstract

A conformally invariant theory of Majorana fermions in 2<d<4 with O(N) symmetry is studied using Operator Product Expansions and consistency relations based on the cancellation of shadow singularities. The critical coupling G_{*} of the theory is calculated to leading order in 1/N. This value is then used to reproduce the O(1/N) correction for the anomalous dimension of the fermion field as evidence for the validity of our approach to conformal field theory in d>2.
