Abstract Exact renormalization group equations are derived for a position-space renormalization of spin systems with weak long-range forces. It is shown how an apparent dependence of the critical exponents on the choice of the renormalization group can be resolved via the mechanism of “dangerous irrelevant variables” and that this same mechanism is responsible for the breakdown of hyperscaling. The dimensiond=4 can be seen to be a borderline dimension above which classical critical exponents are expected.
