We examine the phase structure of a-symmetric model in three dimensional space-time with a potential of sixth order in the scalar fields coupled to dynamic gauge fields with a mixed Chern-Simons term. Using a largetechnique, we compute the quantum effective potential and the renormalization group functions of the various couplings to the next-to-leading order of theexpansion in terms of the mixed Chern-Simons coefficient. The model has a phase which exhibits spontaneous breaking of scale symmetry accompanied by a massless dilaton which is a Goldstone mode. We explicitly show that the various sextic couplings beta functions vanish to leading order in theexpansion; however, at the next order in theexpansion, they exhibit nontrivial running that we analyze explicitly in terms of the mixed Chern–Simons coefficient. We demonstrate that the gauge fluctuations split the zeros of the beta functions and generate a variety of nontrivial fixed points. The stability of these fixed points and the requirement of the positivity of the renormalization group improved effective potential are also examined. Our study identifies a window in the parameter space of the mixed Chern-Simons coefficient where the renormalization group flow has a stable infrared fixed point where scale invariance is recovered.
