Study of the operator product expansion in critical dynamics

We consider the critical relaxation of the Ising model, the so-called model A, and study its operator product expansion. Within perturbation theory, we focus on the operator product expansions of the two-point function and the response function. At the fixed point, we normalize the coefficients and the scaling variables so that the result displays universality. The role of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem is also discussed, and it is shown that it provides nonperturbative relations among the operator product expansion coefficients. Finally, the large N limit is considered.
