Data and scripts from: Morphology of renormalization-group flow for the de Almeida–Thouless–Gardner universality class

Public

  • A replica-symmetry-breaking phase transition is predicted in a host of disordered media. The criticality of the transition has, however, long been questioned below its upper critical dimension, six, due to the absence of a critical fixed point in the renormalization-group flows at one-loop order. A recent two-loop analysis revealed a possible strong-coupling fixed point, but given the uncontrolled nature of perturbative analysis in the strong- coupling regime, debate persists. Here we examine the nature of the transition as a function of spatial dimension and show that the strong-coupling fixed point can go through a Hopf bifurcation, resulting in a critical limit cycle and a concomitant discrete scale invariance. We further investigate a different renormalization scheme and argue that the basin of attraction of the limit cycle at the strong-coupling fixed point may stay finite for all dimensions. ...
