QCD with gauge group $SU(N_c)$ flows to an interacting conformal fixed point in three spacetime dimensions when the number of four-component Dirac fermions $N_f \gg N_c$. We study the stability of this fixed point via the…

Asymptotically safe extensions of the Standard Model have been searched for by adding vector-like fermions charged under the Standard Model gauge group and having Yukawa-like interactions with new scalar fields. Here we study the…
SU(2) gauge theory with two fermions transforming under the adjoint representation may appear conformal or almost conformal in the infrared, and is one of the candidate theories for building models for technicolor. Early lattice Monte Carlo…
Numerical Stochastic Perturbation Theory (NSPT) allows for perturbative computations in quantum field theory. We present an implementation of NSPT that yields results for high orders in the perturbative expansion of lattice gauge theories…
The beta-function is investigated on the lattice in SU(2) gluodynamics. It is determined within a scaling hypothesis while a lattice size fixed to be taken into account. The functions calculated are compared with the ones obtained in the…
It is generally assumed that deviations from flavor SU(3) symmetry arise entirely from quark mass-differences, reflected in the mass splittings between strange and nonstrange members of the same SU(3) multiplet. Under this assumption, a…
We present an overview of the construction and testing of actions for SU(3) gauge theory which are approximate fixed points of renormalization group equations (at $\beta\rightarrow \infty$). Such actions are candidates for use in numerical…
