Six-loop $\varepsilon$ expansion study of three-dimensional $O(n)\times O(m)$ spin models
Abstract: The Landau-Wilson field theory with $O(n)\times O(m)$ symmetry which describes the critical thermodynamics of frustrated spin systems with noncollinear and noncoplanar ordering is analyzed in $4 - \varepsilon$ dimensions within the minimal subtraction scheme in the six-loop approximation. The $\varepsilon$ expansions for marginal dimensionalities of the order parameter $nH(m,4-\varepsilon)$, $n-(m,4-\varepsilon)$, $n+(m,4-\varepsilon)$ separating different regimes of critical behavior are extended up to $\varepsilon5$ terms. Concrete series with coefficients in decimals are presented for $m={2, \dots, 6}$. The \textit{diagram of stability} of nontrivial fixed points, including the chiral one, in $(m,n)$ plane is constructed by means of summing up of corresponding $\varepsilon$ expansions using various resummation techniques. Numerical estimates of the chiral critical exponents for several couples ${m,n}$ are also found. Comparative analysis of our results with their counterparts obtained earlier within the lower-order approximations and by means of alternative approaches is performed. It is confirmed, in particular, that in physically interesting cases $n=2, m=2$ and $n=2, m=3$ phase transitions into chiral phases should be first-order.
