Resolve the apparent line of fixed points in the quartic Yukawa tensor model

Determine whether the apparent marginal direction yielding a line of fixed points in the 3 expansion of the quartic Yukawa tensor model (along the combination h_p  3 h_5  3 h_7 + h_8) is genuine or an artifact of truncation, by establishing if the corresponding zero mode persists or is lifted at higher perturbative order or non-perturbatively.

Background

In the 3 perturbative analysis of the quartic Yukawa model, the authors find an apparent line of fixed points common to bosonic and fermionic sectors in a specific direction in coupling space.

They explicitly note that they are unable to establish whether this is a real feature or an artifact of the loop order considered, leaving open whether the marginal direction is lifted at higher order or by non-perturbative effects.

References

An apparent line of fixed points in both the fermionic and bosonic sectors (in the same direction for both), will also be found, but we will be unable to establish if it is just an artifact of the order of the perturbative calculation.
