“…We will then match our results with the 1/N expansions derived for the [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12], evaluating them in d = 6− . The perfect match of the coefficients in these two 1/N expansions provides convincing evidence that the IR fixed point of the cubic O(N ) theory (1.2) indeed describes the same physics as the UV fixed point of the (φ i φ i ) 2 theory.…”

“…Using that result, we find in d = 5 We note that the coefficients of the 1/N expansion are considerably larger than in the d = 3 case. 7 Assuming the result (2.23) to order 1/N 3 , one finds that the dimension of φ i goes below unitarity at N crit = 35. This is much lower than the value N crit = 1038 that we will find in d = 6 − .…”

“…We first note that the coefficients in the 1/N expansions derived for various quantities in [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] may be continued to the range (1.1) without any obvious difficulty. Thus, the UV fixed points make sense at least in the 1/N expansion.…”

We revisit the classic O(N ) symmetric scalar field theories in d dimensions with interaction (φ i φ i ) 2 . For 2 < d < 4 these theories flow to the Wilson-Fisher fixed points for any N . A standard large N Hubbard-Stratonovich approach also indicates that, for 4 < d < 6, these theories possess unitary UV fixed points. We propose their alternate description in terms of a theory of N + 1 massless scalars with the cubic interactions σφ i φ i and σ 3 . Our one-loop calculation in 6 − dimensions shows that this theory has an IR stable fixed point at real values of the coupling constants for N > 1038. We show that the 1/N expansions of various operator scaling dimensions match the known results for the critical O(N ) theory continued to d = 6 − . These results suggest that, for sufficiently large N , there are 5-dimensional unitary O(N ) symmetric interacting CFT's; they should be dual to the Vasiliev higher-spin theory in AdS 6 with alternate boundary conditions for the bulk scalar. Using these CFT's we provide a new test of the 5-dimensional F -theorem, and also find a new counterexample for the C T theorem.

“…The large N analysis of the interacting O(N ) vector model has been carried out for arbitrary dimension d in [39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48]. For the two cases studied in this work, d = 5 and d = 5.95, we record that the dimensions for the O(N ) fundamental φ i and the two lowest singlet operators σ and…”

“…3 We emphasize that the lower bound on ∆ σ 2 (where this lower bound is chosen to be strictly greater than ∆ σ ) must be chosen judiciously if one's goal is to study the interacting O(N ) theories proposed in [55,56]. Indeed, in these theories, one has ∆ σ 2 = 4+O(1/N ), where the leading 1/N correction is negative [39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48]. At least at large N , one therefore expects the scaling dimension of σ 2 to be slightly less than four.…”

We use the conformal bootstrap to study conformal field theories with O(N ) global symmetry in d = 5 and d = 5.95 spacetime dimensions that have a scalar operator φ i transforming as an O(N ) vector. The crossing symmetry of the four-point function of this O(N ) vector operator, along with unitarity assumptions, determine constraints on the scaling dimensions of conformal primary operators in the φ i × φ j OPE. Imposing a lower bound on the second smallest scaling dimension of such an O(N )-singlet conformal primary, and varying the scaling dimension of the lowest one, we obtain an allowed region that exhibits a kink located very close to the interacting O(N )-symmetric CFT conjectured to exist recently by Fei, Giombi, and Klebanov. Under reasonable assumptions on the dimension of the second lowest O(N ) singlet in the φ i × φ j OPE, we observe that this kink disappears in d = 5 for small enough N , suggesting that in this case an interacting O(N ) CFT may cease to exist for N below a certain critical value. *
