Random field ϕ$^{3}$ model and Parisi-Sourlas supersymmetry
Résumé
We use the RG framework set up in [1] to explore the ϕ$^{3}$ theory with a random field interaction. According to the Parisi-Sourlas conjecture this theory admits a fixed point with emergent supersymmetry which is related to the pure Lee-Yang CFT in two less dimensions. We study the model using replica trick and Cardy variables in d = 8 − ϵ where the RG flow is perturbative. Allowed perturbations are singlets under the S$_{n}$ symmetry that permutes the n replicas. These are decomposed into operators with different scaling dimensions: the lowest dimensional part, ‘leader’, controls the RG flow in the IR; the other operators, ‘followers’, can be neglected. The leaders are classified into: susy-writable, susy-null and non-susy-writable according to their mixing properties. We construct low lying leaders and compute the anomalous dimensions of a number of them. We argue that there is no operator that can destabilize the SUSY RG flow in d ≤ 8. This agrees with the well known numerical result for critical exponents of Branched Polymers (which are in the same universality class as the random field ϕ$^{3}$ model) that match the ones of the pure Lee-Yang fixed point according to dimensional reduction in all 2 ≤ d ≤ 8. Hence this is a second strong check of the RG framework that was previously shown to correctly predict loss of dimensional reduction in random field Ising model.
