Description

The self-energy of the critical three-dimensional O(N) model is calculated. The analysis is performed in the context of the nonperturbative renormalization group by exploiting an approximation which takes into account contributions of an infinite number of vertices. A very simple calculation yields the two-point function in the whole range of momenta, from the UV Gaussian regime to the scaling one. Results are in good agreement with best estimates in the literature for any value of N in all momenta regimes. This encourages the use of this simple approximation procedure to calculate correlation functions at finite momenta in other physical situations
