Abstract Prompted by a recent article of Chakravarty, we reexamine theO(N) vector model with twisted boundary conditions ind dimensions in the various frameworks of the ɛ=d−2 expansion, the ε=4−d expansion, and the large-N expansion. These continuum models describe the physics below the critical temperatureT c and nearT c of a latticeO(N) spin model. We determine the effect of the twisting on finite-size scaling functions, for various geometries.
