Abstract
We explore synchronization transitions in a generalized Kuramoto model with n-dimensional vector oscillators on complete graphs (CG) and on d-dimensional lattices. On the CG, we analytically derive universal critical exponents (β,ν[over ¯])=(1/2,5/2) for all even n. Through the Botet-Jullien-Pfeuty relation, the CG exponent ν[over ¯]=5/2 predicts an upper critical dimension d_{u}=5 for the corresponding lattice models. For locally coupled systems with d
