Stability of fixed points in the (4+ε)-dimensional random field O(N) spin model for sufficiently large N

We study the stability of fixed points in the two-loop renormalization group for the random field O(N) spin model in 4+epsilon dimensions. We solve the fixed-point equation in the 1/N expansion and epsilon expansion. In the large-N limit, we study the stability of all fixed points. We solve the eigenvalue equation for the infinitesimal deviation from the fixed points under physical conditions on the random anisotropy function. We find that the fixed point corresponding to dimensional reduction is singly unstable and others are unstable or unphysical. Therefore, one has no choice other than dimensional reduction in the large-N limit. The two-loop beta function enables us to find a compact area in the (d,N) plane where the dimensional reduction breaks down. We calculate higher-order corrections in the 1/N and epsilon expansions to the fixed point. Solving the corrected eigenvalue equation nonperturbatively, we find that this fixed point is singly unstable also for sufficiently large N and the critical exponents show a dimensional reduction.
