Gaussian fixed point

A Gaussian fixed point is a fixed point of the renormalization group flow which is noninteracting in the sense that it is described by a free field theory.

This means that Gaussian fixed points are exactly solvable (trivially solvable in fact).

Slight deviations from the Gaussian fixed point can be described by perturbation theory.
