In the exploration of viable models of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking, it is essential to locate the lower end of the conformal window and know the mass anomalous dimensions there for a variety of gauge theories. We calculate, with the Schrodinger functional scheme, the running coupling constant and the mass anomalous dimension of SU(2) gauge theory with six massless Dirac fermions in the fundamental representation. The calculations are performed on $6^4$ - $24^4$ lattices over a wide range of lattice bare couplings to take the continuum limit. The discretization errors for both quantities are removed perturbatively. We find that the running slows down and comes to a stop at $0.06 lesssim 1/g^2 lesssim 0.15$ where the mass anomalous dimension is estimated to be $0.26 lesssim gamma^*_m lesssim 0.74$.

Walking technicolor theory attempts to realize electroweak symmetry breaking as the spontaneous chiral symmetry breakdown caused by the gauge dynamics with slowly varying gauge coupling constant and large mass anomalous dimension. Many-flavor QCD is one of the candidates owning these features. We focus on the SU(3) gauge theory with ten flavors of massless fermions in the fundamental representation, and compute the gauge coupling constant in the Schrodinger functional scheme. Numerical simulation is performed with $O(a)$-unimproved lattice action, and the continuum limit is taken in linear in lattice spacing. We observe evidence that this theory possesses an infrared fixed point.
SU(2) gauge theory with a single fermion in the fundamental representation is a minimal non-Abelian candidate for the dark matter sector, which is presently missing from the standard model. Having only a single flavor provides a natural mechanism for stabilizing dark matter on cosmological timescales. Preliminary lattice results are presented and discussed in the context of dark matter phenomenology.
We present new lattice investigations of finite-temperature transitions for SU(3) gauge theory with Nf=8 light flavors. Using nHYP-smeared staggered fermions we are able to explore renormalized couplings $g^2 lesssim 20$ on lattice volumes as large a s $48^3 times 24$. Finite-temperature transitions at non-zero fermion mass do not persist in the chiral limit, instead running into a strongly coupled lattice phase as the mass decreases. That is, finite-temperature studies with this lattice action require even larger $N_T > 24$ to directly confirm spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking.
We study the discrete beta function of SU(3) gauge theory with Nf=12 massless fermions in the fundamental representation. Using an nHYP-smeared staggered lattice action and an improved gradient flow running coupling $tilde g_c^2(L)$ we determine the continuum-extrapolated discrete beta function up to $g_c^2 approx 8.2$. We observe an IR fixed point at $g_{star}^2 = 7.3left(_{-2}^{+8}right)$ in the $c = sqrt{8t} / L = 0.25$ scheme, and $g_{star}^2 = 7.3left(_{-3}^{+6}right)$ with c=0.3, combining statistical and systematic uncertainties in quadrature. The systematic effects we investigate include the stability of the $(a / L) to 0$ extrapolations, the interpolation of $tilde g_c^2(L)$ as a function of the bare coupling, the improvement of the gradient flow running coupling, and the discretization of the energy density. In an appendix we observe that the resulting systematic errors increase dramatically upon combining smaller $c lesssim 0.2$ with smaller $L leq 12$, leading to an IR fixed point at $g_{star}^2 = 5.9(1.9)$ in the c=0.2 scheme, which resolves to $g_{star}^2 = 6.9left(_{-1}^{+6}right)$ upon considering only $L geq 16$. At the IR fixed point we measure the leading irrelevant critical exponent to be $gamma_g^{star} = 0.26(2)$, comparable to perturbative estimates.
We measure the evolution of the coupling constant using the Schroedinger functional method in the lattice formulation of SU(2) gauge theory with two massless Dirac fermions in the adjoint representation. We observe strong evidence for an infrared fix ed point, where the theory becomes conformal. We measure the continuum beta-function and the coupling constant as a function of the energy scale.
