The Local Potential Approach to frustrated antiferromagnets
  We revisit the critical behavior of classical frustrated systems using the nonperturbative renormalization group (NPRG) equation. Our study is performed within the local potential approximation of this equation to which is added the flow of the field renormalization. Our flow equations are functional to avoid possible artifacts coming from field expansions which consists in keeping only a limited number of coupling constants. We present a simple numerical method to follow the fixed point solution of our equations by changing gradually the dimension d and the number N of spin-components. We explain in details the advantage of this method as well as the numerical difficulties we encounter, which become severe close to d = 2. The function N_c(d) separating the regions of first and second order in the (d,N) plane is computed for d between 4 and 2.2. Our results confirm what was previously found within cruder approximation of the NPRG equation and contradict both the fixed dimension perturbative approach and the results obtained within the conformal bootstrap approach.
