Abstract: The XY model in d dimensions is studied by means of a variational real space renormalization group transformation. Contrary to an earlier computation in the same framework for the d = 2 case, we find that a low order operator basis truncation is highly unstable. For certain values of the variational parameter p the renormalization group flow can display period doubling sequences towards a chaotic regime. The behavior in the d = 3 case is very similar.
