Abstract

Non-Fermi liquids in d>2 remain poorly understood, particularly when relevant perturbations destabilize them. In one spatial dimension, chirally stabilized fixed points provide a rare class of analytically tractable non-Fermi-liquid critical points, but their higher-dimensional analogues have been elusive. Here, we develop a Wilsonian operator-product-expansion renormalization group scheme that captures power-divergent terms and use it to construct finite-N higher-dimensional analogues of chirally stabilized fixed points in arbitrary dimension d≤4. This exposes a conformal window at finite N. We further show that symmetry-breaking masses, far from being trivial, can collapse this window and drive the system to strong coupling, triggering dynamical mass generation.
