Abstract
The Wilson-Fisher expansion is used to calculate critical exponents in a semi-infinite Ising model to first order in . It is found that potentials renormalize just as in the bulk, and all surface information is contained in the wave-function renormalization. is and is 0, just as in infinite systems. and are, respectively, and and the surface gap exponent is if scaling is assumed.
