3.5 Field Theoretic Form 79
Returning to Eq.(3.4.7) the fact that g is not normalized leads to the relation
z =1 +
D

(3.4.22)
For D<6, z<4 and that implies the Onsager coefficient has to diverge for D<6
which is represented by the scaling of Eq.(3.4.6) and we have

(3.4.25)
which is a universal number (dependent only on dimensionality of space). The
Onsager coefficient thus diverges as k

and >0 i.e. D<6, and has an
amplitude
0
such that the number g

is an universal number. Thus, in the
dynamics, we can have universal exponents and universal amplitude combinations.
In the above discussion, calculations have been carried out to O(). The non-
renormalizability of the coupling constant ‘g’ is however correct to all orders in
and thus the conclusion z =1 +
D
2
is exact. However, in getting this answer, η
has been ignored. For 6 >D>4, this does not matter since in that range η =0.
However, for D<4, there will be O(η)correction to the dynamic scaling exponent.
By going through the detailed calculation for the dissipative coupling and the
reversible coupling, we have covered all possible ways in RG techniques that one
uses in dynamics.
3.5 Field Theoretic Form
In this section, we give a very sketchy indication of how the dynamics problem can
be made to look very much like a problem in statics and the field theoretic methods
of statics can be brought to bear to solve it. We do this first for the simplest system
- linearized version of model A. The equation of motion is,
