Exact Five-Loop Renormalization Group Functions of φ⁴-Theory with O(N)-Symmetric and Cubic Interactions. Critical Exponents up to ep⁵

The renormalization group functions are calculated in $D=4-\epsilon$ dimensions for the $\phi^4$-theory with two coupling constants associated with an ${O}(N)$-symmetric and a cubic interaction. Divergences are removed by minimal subtraction. The critical exponents $\eta$, $\nu$, and $\omega$ are expanded up to order $\epsilon^5$ for the three nontrivial fixed points O(N)-symmetric, Ising, and cubic. The results suggest the stability of the cubic fixed point for $N\geq3$, implying that the critical exponents seen in the magnetic transition of three-dimensional cubic crystals are of the cubic universality class. This is in contrast to earlier three-loop results which gave $N > 3$, and thus Heisenberg exponents. The numerical differences, however, are less than a percent making an experimental distinction of the universality classes very difficult.
