Abstract

An exact renormalization equation is derived by making an infinitesimal change in the cutoff in momentum space. From this equation the expansion for critical exponents around dimensionality 4 and the limit n= of the n-vector model are calculated. We obtain agreement with the results of Wilson and Fisher, and with the spherical model.
