O(N) vector model with twisted boundary conditions

Prompted by a recent article of Chakravarty, we reexamine the O(N) vector model with twisted boundary conditions in d dimensions in the various frameworks of the [var epsilon] = d - 2 expansion, the [var epsilon] = 4 - d expansion, and the large-N expansion. These continuum models describe the physi...

Description
Summary:Prompted by a recent article of Chakravarty, we reexamine the O(N) vector model with twisted boundary conditions in d dimensions in the various frameworks of the [var epsilon] = d - 2 expansion, the [var epsilon] = 4 - d expansion, and the large-N expansion. These continuum models describe the physics below the critical temperature [Tc] and near [Tc] of a lattice O(N) spin model. We determine the effect of the twisting on fintie-size scaling functions, for various geometries.
