High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-31 v2

Abstract

Non-supersymmetric d=4 gauge theories which arise from superstring duality on a manifold AdS5×S5/ZpAdS_5 \times S_5/Z_p are cataloged for a range 2p412 \leq p \leq 41. A number have vanishing two-loop gauge \beta-function, a necessary but not sufficient condition to be a conformal field theory.
