The effective exponent γ(Q) and the slope of the β function

The slope of the β function at a fixed point is commonly thought to be RG invariant and to be the critical exponent γ⁎ that governs the approach of any physical quantity R to its fixed-point limit: R⁎−R∝Qγ⁎. Chýla has shown that this is not quite true. Here we define a proper RG invariant, the “effe...
