General Quartic $β$-Function at Three Loops (2408.05267v1)

Abstract: We determine the three-loop $\overline{\text{MS}}$ quartic $ \beta $-function for the most general renormalisable four-dimensional theories. A general parametrization of the $ \beta $-function is compared to known $ \beta $-functions for specific theories to fix all coefficients. Three-loop $ \beta $-functions for the cubic coupling and scalar mass terms also follow from the result, which is made available in software packages.
