contents Dimensional correspondences have a long history in critical phenomena. Here, we review the effective dimension approach, which relates the scaling exponents of a critical system in $d$ spatial dimensions with power-law decaying interactions $r^{d+σ}$ to a local system, i.e., with finite range interactions, in an effective fractal dimension $d_\mathrm{eff}$. This method simplifies the study of long-range models by leveraging known results from their local counterparts. While the validity of this approximation beyond the mean-field level has been long debated, we demonstrate that the effective dimension approach, while approximate for non-Gaussian fixed points, accurately estimates the critical exponents of long-range models with an accuracy typically larger than $97\%$. To do so, we review perturbative RG results, extend the approximation's validity using functional RG techniques, and compare our findings with precise numerical data from conformal bootstrap for the two-dimensional Ising model with long-range interactions.
