Abstract: (submitter)
We comment on a recent letter by de Albuquerque and Leite (2001 J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 34 L327), in which results to the second order in epsilon = 4 − d + m/2 were presented for the critical exponents νL2, ηL2 and γL2 of d-dimensional systems at m-axial Lifshitz points. We point out that their results are at variance with ours. The discrepancy is due to their incorrect computation of momentum-space integrals. Their speculation that the field-theoretic renormalization group approach, if performed in position space, might give results different from when it is performed in momentum space is refuted.
