magnetic critical point? Rosch et. al. 2d spin fluctuations and 3d
electrons. Motivated by experiments. Explain linear

Does the 2d spin+ 3d fermion model account for the anomalous damping of the spin fluctuations?
ds+z=4 marginally irrelevant coupling. Strictly speaking no E/T scaling, and Asymptotically scaling functions are all mean field
like but can the corrections to scaling mimmick and effective exponent ?
Answer: S. Pankov, S. Florens A. Georges and GK NO. The leading correction to scaling produce an effective exponent eff 1

DMFT: Effective Action point of view.R. Chitra and G. Kotliar Phys Rev. B.(2000), (2001).
Identify observable, A. Construct an exact functional of <A>=a, [a] which is stationary at the physical value of a.
Example, density in DFT theory. (Fukuda et. al.) When a is local, it gives an exact mapping onto a local
problem, defines a Weiss field. The method is useful when practical and accurate
approximations to the exact functional exist. Example: LDA, GGA, in DFT.
It is useful to introduce a Lagrange multiplier conjugate to a, [a,
It gives as a byproduct a additional lattice information.
