SUMMARY:Exact critical exponents for the antiferromagnetic quantum critical
	 point in   and  dimensions
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Peter Lunts\n\nPart of the Condensed Matter Theory Se
	minar Series.\n\nThe antiferromagnetic quantum critical point is believed t
	o exist in many unconventional superconductors\, such as high-Tc cuprates\,
	 heavy fermion compounds and iron-based superconductors. The strange metal 
	state above this critical point is the most common kind of non-Fermi liquid
	 found in nature\, and\, therefore\, gaining a theoretical understanding of
	 it is a key problem in condensed matter. We present a controlled approach 
	to this problem using a dimensional regularization technique\, extending th
	e spatial dimension from  to  . We find an emergent control parameter\, whi
	ch allows us to find exact values for the critical exponents of the theory 
	within a finite window of  . We then use these exponents as an ansatz for t
	he problem directly in  . We again find the same emergent control parameter
	\, and we confirm that our ansatz is exact in the IR. This gives us an exac
	t description of the low-energy physics\, in which both fermions and bosons
	 do not have quasi-particle-like excitations\, and the specific heat of the
	 system violates hyperscaling.
