Nonperturbative investigations of SU(3) gauge theory with eight dynamical flavors

We present our lattice studies of SU(3) gauge theory with Nf=8 degenerate fermions in the fundamental representation. Using nHYP-smeared staggered fermions we study finite-temperature transitions on lattice volumes as large as L3×Nt=483×24, and the …

One-loop Chiral Perturbation Theory with two fermion representations

We develop chiral perturbation theory for chirally broken theories with fermions in two different representations of the gauge group. Any such theory has a nonanomalous singlet U(1)A symmetry, yielding an additional Nambu-Goldstone boson when …

Two-Color Gauge Theory with Novel Infrared Behavior

Using lattice simulations, we study the infrared behavior of a particularly interesting SU(2) gauge theory, with six massless Dirac fermions in the fundamental representation. We compute the running gauge coupling derived non-perturbatively from the …

Lattice Study of Conformal Behavior in SU(3) Yang-Mills Theories

Using lattice simulations, we study the extent of the conformal window for an SU(3) gauge theory with N_f Dirac fermions in the fundamental representation. We extend our recently reported work, describing the general framework and the lattice …

Lattice study of the conformal window in QCD-like theories

Using lattice simulations, we study the extent of the conformal window for an $textSU(3)$ gauge theory with $N_f$ Dirac fermions in the fundamental representation. We present evidence that the infrared behavior is conformal for $12 leq N_f leq 16$, …
