Symmetry and universality of multi-field interactions in $6-ε$ dimensions

We outline a general strategy developed for the analysis of critical models, which we apply to obtain a heuristic classification of all universality classes with up to three field-theoretical scalar order parameters in $d=6-ε$ dimensions. As expected by the paradigm of universality, each class is uniquely characterized by its symmetry group and by a set of its scaling properties, neither of which are built-in by the formalism but instead emerge nontrivially as outputs of our computations. For three fields, we find several solutions mostly with discrete symmetries. These are nontrivial conformal field theory candidates in less than six dimensions, one of which is a new perturbatively unitary critical model.
