The critical behavior of the O(n)-symmetric model with two n-vector fields is studied within the field-theoretical renormalization group approach in a D = 4 − 2epsilon expansion. Depending on the coupling constants, the β-functions, fixed points and critical exponents are calculated up to the one- and two-loop order, respectively (η in two- and three-loop order). Both continuous lines of fixed points and \tO{n}{\times}\tO{2} invariant discrete solutions were found. Apart from already known fixed points two new ones arise. One agrees in one-loop order with a known fixed point, but differs from it in two-loop order.
