Some approximate integral equations for the two-point function served as an indication for the existence of a UCD, by obtaining a dimension, above which the equation does not have a strong coupling solution. A surprising aspect of these studies, however, is that variuos authors that considered the same equation produced large variations in the UCD. This caused some doubts concerning the existence of a UCD. Here we revisit these calculations, describe the reason for such large variations in the results of identical calculations, show by a large-d expansion that indeed there exist a UCD and then obtain it numerically by properly defining the integrals involved.18 pagesMaterials ScienceStatistical Mechanicstext
