An. Vasilev et As. Stepanenko, A METHOD OF CALCULATING THE CRITICAL DIMENSIONS OF COMPOSITE-OPERATORS IN THE MASSLESS NONLINEAR SIGMA-MODEL, Theoretical and mathematical physics, 94(4), 1993, pp. 471-481
For an arbitrary system of composite operators that mix on renormaliza
tion, a general scheme is formulated for calculating the critical dime
nsions directly in the massless sigma model with dimensional and minim
al-subtraction type regularization. The critical dimensions of arbitra
ry powers of the auxiliary field and analogous operators with two addi
tional derivatives are calculated as examples.
