Abstract
The random-field model is studied in spatial dimensions and 4, and in between, as the limit of the -state clock models, by the exact renormalization-group solution of the hierarchical lattice or, equivalently, the Migdal-Kadanoff approximation to the hypercubic lattices. The lower critical dimension is determined between . When the random field is scaled with , a line segment of zero-temperature criticality is found in . When the random field is scaled with , a universal phase diagram is found at intermediate temperatures in .
