We calculate the step scaling function, the lattice analog of the renormalization group $beta$-function, for an SU(3) gauge theory with twelve flavors. The gauge coupling of this system runs very slowly, which is reflected in a small step scaling function, making numerical simulations particularly challenging. We present a detailed analysis including the study of systematic effects of our extensive data set generated with twelve dynamical flavors using the Symanzik gauge action and three times stout smeared Mobius domain wall fermions. Using up to $32^4$ volumes, we calculate renormalized couplings for different gradient flow schemes and determine the step-scaling $beta$ function for a scale change $s=2$ on up to five different lattice volume pairs. Our preferred analysis is fully $O(a^2)$ Symanzik improved and uses Zeuthen flow combined with the Symanzik operator. We find an infrared fixed point within the range $5.2 le g_c^2 le 6.4$ in the $c=0.250$ finite volume gradient flow scheme. We account for systematic effects by calculating the step-scaling function based on alternative flows (Wilson or Symanzik) as well as operators (Wilson plaquette, clover) and also explore the effects of the perturbative tree-level improvement.

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.
A novel method to study the bulk thermodynamics in lattice gauge theory is proposed on the basis of the Yang-Mills gradient flow with a fictitious time t. The energy density (epsilon) and the pressure (P) of SU(3) gauge theory at fixed temperature ar
e calculated directly on 32^3 x (6,8,10) lattices from the thermal average of the well-defined energy-momentum tensor (T_{mu nu}^R(x)) obtained by the gradient flow. It is demonstrated that the continuum limit can be taken in a controlled manner from the t-dependence of the flowed data.
We present details of a lattice study of infrared behaviour in SU(3) gauge theory with twelve massless fermions in the fundamental representation. Using the step-scaling method, we compute the coupling constant in this theory over a large range of sc
ale. The renormalisation scheme in this work is defined by the ratio of Polyakov loops in the directions with different boundary conditions. We closely examine systematic effects, and find that they are dominated by errors arising from the continuum extrapolation. Our investigation suggests that SU(3) gauge theory with twelve flavours contains an infrared fixed point.
We summarize the results recently reported in Ref.[1] [A. Deuzeman, M.P. Lombardo, T. Nunes da Silva and E. Pallante,The bulk transition of QCD with twelve flavors and the role of improvement] for the SU(3) gauge theory with Nf=12 fundamental flavors
, and we add some numerical evidence and theoretical discussion. In particular, we study the nature of the bulk transition that separates a chirally broken phase at strong coupling from a chirally restored phase at weak coupling. When a non-improved action is used, a rapid crossover is observed at small bare quark masses. Our results confirm a first order nature for this transition, in agreement with previous results we obtained using an improved action. As shown in Ref.[1], when improvement of the action is used, the transition is preceded by a second rapid crossover at weaker coupling and an exotic phase emerges, where chiral symmetry is not yet broken. This can be explained [1] by the non hermiticity of the improved lattice Transfer matrix, arising from the competition of nearest-neighbor and non-nearest neighbor interactions, the latter introduced by improvement and becoming increasingly relevant at strong coupling and coarse lattices. We further comment on how improvement may generally affect any lattice system at strong coupling, be it graphene or non abelian gauge theories inside or slightly below the conformal window.
The energy density and the pressure of SU(3) gauge theory at finite temperature are studied by direct lattice measurements of the renormalized energy-momentum tensor obtained by the gradient flow. Numerical analyses are carried out with $beta=6.287$-
-$7.500$ corresponding to the lattice spacing $a= 0.013$--$0.061,mathrm{fm}$. The spatial (temporal) sizes are chosen to be $N_s= 64$, $96$, $128$ ($N_{tau}=12$, $16$, $20$, $22$, $24$) with the aspect ratio, $5.33 le N_s/N_{tau} le 8$. Double extrapolation, $arightarrow 0$ (the continuum limit) followed by $trightarrow 0$ (the zero flow-time limit), is taken using the numerical data. Above the critical temperature, the thermodynamic quantities are obtained with a few percent precision including statistical and systematic errors. The results are in good agreement with previous high-precision data obtained by using the integral method.
