Five loop renormalization of $ϕ^3$ theory with applications to the Lee-Yang edge singularity and percolation theory

We apply the method of graphical functions that was recently extended to six dimensions for scalar theories, to $ϕ^3$ theory and compute the $β$ function, the wave function anomalous dimension as well as the mass anomalous dimension in the $\overline{\mbox{MS}}$ scheme to five loops. From the results we derive the corresponding renormalization group functions for the Lee-Yang edge singularity problem and percolation theory. After determining the $\varepsilon$ expansions of the respective critical exponents to $\mathcal{O}(\varepsilon^5)$ we apply recent resummation technology to obtain improved exponent estimates in 3, 4 and 5 dimensions. These compare favourably with estimates from fixed dimension numerical techniques and refine the four loop results. To assist with this comparison we collated a substantial amount of data from numerical techniques which are included in tables for each exponent.

Uniqueness of the Seiberg-Witten Effective Lagrangian

The low energy effective Lagrangian for $N\es 2$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, proposed by Seiberg and Witten is shown to be the unique solution, assuming only that supersymmetry is unbroken and that the number of strong-coupling singularities is finite. Duality is then a consequence rather than an input.
