The critical O(N) σ-model at dimension 2<d<4: Hardy-Ramanujan distribution of quasi-primary fields and a collective fusion approach

The distribution of quasiprimary fields of fixed classes characterized by their O$(N)$ representations $Y$ and the number $p$ of vector fields from which they are composed at $N=\infty$ in dependence on their normal dimension $[\delta]$ is shown to obey a Hardy-Ramanujan law at leading order in a $\frac{1}{N}$-expansion. We develop a method of collective fusion of the fundamental fields which yields arbitrary \qps and resolves any degeneracy.
