Symplectic Isomorphism Between Strong-Coupling Criticality and Finite-Strain Bifurcation
Abstract
The analytical determination of critical scaling in three-dimensional strongly coupled field theories is inherently restricted by the Borel non-summability of perturbative expansions. In this paper, we establish a symplectic isomorphism that maps the infrared dynamics of scalar quantum field theories onto the finite-strain bifurcation mechanics of hyperelastic continua. By reformulating the renormalization group flow as an effective spatial Hamiltonian evolution within a symplectic phase space, we identify the critical fixed point with the spectral degeneration of a continuous Riccati-Lyapunov dynamical system. The algebraic integrity of this geometric correspondence is rigorously verified against exactly solvable limits, recovering both the Gaussian free-field scaling and the localized Jackiw-Rebbi zero-mode of the continuum Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model. Applying this framework to the 3D Ising universality class, we construct a self-consistent algebraic scaling Ansatz for the anomalous dimension $\eta$. This derivation dispenses with arbitrary perturbative truncations, demonstrating instead that interaction-induced non-perturbative screening emerges as a strict consequence of the nonlinear self-consistency demanded by the continuous Algebraic Riccati Equation. The resulting rational scaling law functions as a geometric Pad\'e approximant that asymptotically satisfies the unitarity bound limits, providing a mathematically transparent, first-principles macroscopic impedance analogue for the dynamic suppression of strong-coupling divergences.
