45 L f = ψ 1α ζ τ iv 1 r ψ 1α + ψ 2α ζ τ iv 2 r ψ 2α Order parameter: L ϕ = 1 2 ( r ϕ ) 2 + ζ Yukawa coupling: L c = λϕ 2 ( τ ϕ ) 2 + s 2 ϕ 2 + u 4 ϕ 4 ψ 1α σ αβψ2β + ψ 2α σ αβψ1β Under the rescaling x = xe, τ = τe z, the spatial gradients are fixed if the fields transform as ϕ = e (d+z 2)/2 ϕ ; ψ = e (d+z 1)/2 ψ. Then the Yukawa coupling transforms as λ = e (4 d z)/2 λ For d = 2, with z = 2 the Yukawa coupling is invariant, and the bare time-derivative terms ζ, ζ are irrelevant.

Consistency check: the expression for the boson damping constant, γ = 2 πv x v y, is preserved under RG.
