In this paper (the second of a series) we extend our calculation of a classical fixed point action for lattice $SU(3)$ pure gauge theory to include gauge configurations with large fluctuations. The action is parameterized in terms of closed…
Scenario according to which the SU(2)-gluodynamics is a theory with a nontrivial fixed point is analyzed from the point of view of the modern Monte-Carlo (MC) lattice data. It is found that an assumption of the first order fixed point g=g_f…
We compute the Schroedinger functional (SF) for the case of pure SU(3) gauge theory at two-loop order in lattice perturbation theory. This allows us to extract the three-loop beta-function in the SF-scheme. These results are required to…
We study SU(2) lattice gauge theory with two flavors of Wilson fermion at non-zero chemical potential mu and low temperature on a 8^3x16 system. We identify three regimes along the mu-axis. For mu<~m_pi/2 the system remains in the vacuum…
We calculate the value of the coupling at the infrared zero of the beta function of an asymptotically free SU(3) gauge theory at the five-loop level as a function of the number of fermions. Both a direct analysis of the beta function and…
We present the first numerical study of the ultraviolet dynamics of non-asymptotically free gauge-fermion theories at large number of matter fields. As testbed theories we consider non-abelian SU(2) gauge theories with 24 and 48 Dirac…

Results for $\beta$-functions and anomalous dimensions in general scalar fermion theories are presented to three loops. Various constraints on the individual coefficients for each diagram following from supersymmetry are analysed. The…
QCD with 2 flavours of massless colour-sextet quarks is studied as a theory which might exhibit a range of scales over which the running coupling constant evolves very slowly (walks). We simulate lattice QCD with 2 flavours of sextet…
Dilaton effective field theory (dEFT) can be employed to analyze lattice data in gauge theories that lie in close proximity of the lower edge of the conformal window. Under special conditions, we show that it can be used as a diagnostic…

We study interacting fixed points of simple quantum field theory in four-dimensional $SU(N_c)$ coupled to $N_f$ species of color fermions and $N_f^2$ colorless scalars in the Veneziano limit. Using the rich structure of all possible quartic…
We summarize our recent work on the construction and properties of fixed point (FP) actions for lattice $SU(3)$ pure gauge theory. These actions have scale invariant instanton solutions and their spectrum is exact through 1--loop, i.e. in…
We study a class of 4-dimensional $SU(N)$ chiral gauge theories with fermions in the 2-index symmetric and antisymmetric representations and classify their infrared phases. The choice $N=4\mathbb{Z}$ corresponds to gauging the fermion…
