Let's consider the 4d Nonlinear Sigma model with target space, without a topological term. The Lagrangian is where is a matrix, and is a coupling constant. Dimensional analysis shows has mass dimension 1. This means under RG, will grow. I am puzzled what happens when we flow to deep infrared? Does it flow to a gapless fixed point with spontaneously symmetry breaking, and if so is it a CFT? Or does it flow to a gapped fixed point?
