This chapter examines corrections to scaling behaviour. It considers generic dimensions, logarithmic corrections at the upper-critical dimension, and corrections coming from irrelevant operations. It presents one physical application by systems with strong dipolar forces which have three as upper-critical dimension.
Keywords: corrections, scaling behaviour, generic dimensions, upper-critical dimension, irrelevant operations, dipolar forces
