There have been some speculations about the existence of critical unitary O(N)-invariant scalar field theories in dimensions 4<d<6 and for large N. Using the functional renormalization group equation, we show that in the lowest order of the derivative expansion, and assuming that the anomalous dimension vanishes for large $N$, the corresponding critical potentials are either unbounded from below or singular for some finite value of the field.

Proper-time functional renormalization in $O(N)$ scalar models coupled to gravity
Proper-time FRG applied to gravity-coupled O(N) scalars largely reproduces scaling solutions and critical properties found with the effective average action, with some quantitative differences at finite and large N de...
