It is shown that the interface model introduced in Phys. Rev. Lett. 86, 2369 (2001) violates fundamental symmetry requirements for vanishing gravitational acceleration $g$, so that its results cannot be applied to critical properties of interfaces for $gto 0$.

We show that the recent renormalization-group analysis of Lifshitz critical behavior presented by Leite [Phys. Rev. B {bf 67}, 104415 (2003)] suffers from a number of severe deficiencies. In particular, we show that his approach does not give an ultr
aviolet finite renormalized theory, is plagued by inconsistencies, misses the existence of a nontrivial anisotropy exponent $theta e 1/2$, and therefore yields incorrect hyperscaling relations. His $epsilon$-expansion results to order $epsilon^2$ for the critical exponents of $m$-axial Lifshitz points are incorrect both in the anisotropic ($0<m<d$) and the isotropic cases ($m=d$). The inherent inconsistencies and the lack of a sound basis of the approach makes its results unacceptable even if they are interpreted in the sense of approximations.
The superfluid/normal-fluid interface of liquid 4He is investigated in gravity on earth where a small heat current Q flows vertically upward or downward. We present a local space- and time-dependent renormalization-group (RG) calculation based on mod
el F which describes the dynamic critical effects for temperatures T near the superfluid transition T_lambda. The model-F equations are rewritten in a dimensionless renormalized form and solved numerically as partial differential equations. Perturbative corrections are included for the spatially inhomogeneous system within a self-consistent one-loop approximation. The RG flow parameter is determined locally as a function of space and time by a constraint equation which is solved by a Newton iteration. As a result we obtain the temperature profile of the interface. Furthermore we calculate the average order parameter <psi>, the correlation length xi, the specific heat C_Q and the thermal resistivity rho_T where we observe a rounding of the critical singularity by the gravity and the heat current. We compare the thermal resistivity with an experiment and find good qualitative agreement. Moreover we discuss our previous approach for larger heat currents and the self-organized critical state and show that our theory agrees with recent experiments in this latter regime.
We study the dependence of the surface tension of a fluid interface on the density profile of a third suspended phase. By means of an approximated model for the binary mixture and of a perturbative approach we derive close formulas for the free energ
y of the system and for the surface tension of the interface. Our results show a remarkable non-monotonous dependence of the surface tension on the peak of the density of the suspended phase. Our results also predict the local value of the surface tension in the case in which the density of the suspended phase is not homogeneous along the interface.
Renormalization group calculations are used to give exact solutions for rigidity percolation on hierarchical lattices. Algebraic scaling transformations for a simple example in two dimensions produce a transition of second order, with an unstable cri
tical point and associated scaling laws. Values are provided for the order parameter exponent $beta = 0.0775$ associated with the spanning rigid cluster and also for $d u = 3.533$ which is associated with an anomalous lattice dimension $d$ and the divergence in the correlation length near the transition. In addition we argue that the number of floppy modes $F$ plays the role of a free energy and hence find the exponent $alpha$ and establish hyperscaling. The exact analytical procedures demonstrated on the chosen example readily generalize to wider classes of hierarchical lattice.
We demonstrate the power of a recently-proposed approximation scheme for the non-perturbative renormalization group that gives access to correlation functions over their full momentum range. We solve numerically the leading-order flow equations obtai
ned within this scheme, and compute the two-point functions of the O(N) theories at criticality, in two and three dimensions. Excellent results are obtained for both universal and non-universal quantities at modest numerical cost.
