The critical behaviour of a non-local scalar field theory is studied. This theory has a non-local kinetic term which involves a real power 1-2\alpha of the Laplacian. The interaction term is the usual local \phi^{4} interaction. The lowest order Feynman diagrams corresponding to coupling constant renormalization, mass renormalization and field …
