Notes:
An action with n parameters, which generalizes the O(N)−RPN−1 model, is considered in one dimension for general N. We use asymptotic expansion techniques to determine where the model becomes critical and show that for the actions considered there exists a family of hypersurfaces whose asymptotic behavior determines a one-parameter family of new universality classes. They interpolate between the O(N) vector model class and the RPN−1 model class. Furthermore continuum limits are discussed, including the exceptional case N=2. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.
