Abstract

In the last few years the derivative expansion of the nonperturbative renormalization group has proven to be a very efficient tool for the precise computation of critical quantities. In particular, recent progress in the understanding of its convergence properties allowed for an estimate of the error bars as well as the precise computation of many critical quantities. In this work we extend previous studies to the computation of several universal amplitude ratios for the critical regime of O(N) models using the derivative expansion of the nonperturbative renormalization group at order O(∂^{4}) for three-dimensional systems.
