Dangerous irrelevant operators

· Ann. Phys. (N.Y.); (United States)
The effects of dangerous irrelevant operators on various types of critical behavior are described, as particular cases of a systematic field theoretic renormalization group treatment. Starting from a general formulation, such cases as the tricritical crossover above three dimensions, hyperscaling above four, and symmetry-breaking by irrelevant operators are considered. The irrelevance discussed is either of the ''strong type,'' identifiable by dimensional analysis, or the ''weak type,'' produced by the renormalization group.
