We prove stability bounds for local gauge-invariant scalar QCD quantum models, with multiflavored bosons replacing (anti)quarks. We take a compact, connected gauge Lie group G, and concentrate on G=U(N),SU(N). Let d(N)=N^2,(N^2-1) be their…

Numerical Stochastic Perturbation Theory was able to get three- (and even four-) loop results for finite Lattice QCD renormalization constants. More recently, a conceptual and technical framework has been devised to tame finite size…
Massless overlap fermions in the real representation of two dimensional $SU(N_c)$ gauge theories exhibit a mod($2$) index due to the rigidity of its spectrum when viewed as a function of the background gauge field - lattice gauge fields on…
U(1)-family symmetries have led to successful predictions of the fermion mass spectrum and the mixing angles of the hadronic sector. In the context of the supersymmetric unified theories, they further imply a non-trivial mass structure for…

We study a lattice field theory model containing two flavors of massless staggered fermions with an onsite four-fermion interaction. The model contains a $SU(4)$ symmetry which forbids non-zero fermion bilinear mass terms, due to which…
Perturbative expansions of QCD observables in powers of $\alpha_s$ are believed to be asymptotic and non-Borel summable due to the existence of singularities in the Borel plane (renormalons). This fact is connected with the factorization of…
I investigate the role of nonrenormalizable terms, up to order N=8, in a superstring derived standard--like model. I argue that nonrenormalizable terms restrict the gauge symmetry, at the Planck scale, to be $SU(3)\times SU(2)\times…
Two particular ratios related to mesons are proposed for the study of the conformal window in $SU(3)$ gauge theory and fundamental fermions. Lattice and other studies indicate that the lower end, $N_f^*$, is at around 7 - 13 flavors which…
We present data for the scaling behavior of lattice QCD with two flavors of light Wilson fermions. This is done by matching $\pi$ n and $\rho$ masses at the two lattice sizes of $16^3\times32 $ and $8^3\times16$. We find that at…
We test the asymptotic scaling behavior of state-of-the-art simulations of QCD with two flavors of light Wilson fermions. This is done by matching $\pi$ and $\rho$ masses on lattices of size $16^3\times32$ and $8^3\times16$. We find that at…
The nature of chiral phase transition for two flavor QCD is an interesting but unresolved problem. One of the most intriguing issues is whether or not the anomalous U(1) symmetry in the flavor sector is effectively restored along with the…
We use lattice simulations to study the single-site version of SU(N) lattice gauge theory with two flavors of Wilson-Dirac fermions in the adjoint representation, a theory whose large volume correspondent is expected to be conformal or…
