Series studies of critical exponents in continuous dimensions

Using results we have previously derived for the high‐temperature susceptibility expansion of classical models as a closed‐form function of lattice dimension, we study the dimensional dependence of the critical exponent γ and critical temperature, as well as the correction‐to‐scaling exponent Δ1, for Ising‐like (n=1) models. The numerical results are obtained by extrapolation of 10‐th order series on loose‐packed hypercubical lattices, and 8‐th order series on close‐packed hypertriangular lattices. The critical exponent γ increases monotonically with decreasing dimension, d, for d<4, and apparently tends to infinity at d=1; while the critical temperature decreases monotonically and smoothly to zero at d=1. Detailed contact is made with the ε‐expansion estimates for critical exponents obtained in the context of renormalization group theory.
