Abstract
Recent calculations on ferromagnets with -component spins and with long-range forces (the interaction between spin decays as , where is the dimensionality of the system and ) have given exponents which are apparently discontinuous at , i.e., when the transition to short-range interactions is made. By solving Wilson's exact recursion relations to order we show that the exponents , , and are continuous functions of and that there exists a region of long-range potentials defined by where the exponents assume their short-range values.
