Abstract: (APS)

The four-dimensional Z2 gauge theory is studied by Monte Carlo renormalization-group methods. The renormalization-group flows are discontinuous at the first-order phase-transition point and are not associated with a discontinuity fixed point. Evidence for critical fixed points within the metastable regions is presented.
