چکیده
A bstract The Yang-Mills gradient flow for QCD-like theories is generalized by including a fermionic matter term in the gauge field equation. We combine this with two different equations degrees of freedom. solutions setups are used perturbative computations vacuum expectation value Lagrangian density and renormalization factor evolved fermions up to next-to-leading order coupling. find one-parameter family systems which there exists scheme fermion anomalous dimension vanishes all orders perturbation theory. number dependence flows studied applications lattice studies anticipated.

Dynamics in the Conformal Window in QCD like Theories
Recently, there has been considerable interest in the existence of a nontrivial conformal dynamics in 3+1 dimensional non-supersymmetric vector like gauge theories, with a relatively large number of fermion flavors Nf [1–6]. The roots of this problem go back to a work of Banks and Zaks [7] who were first to discuss the consequences of the existence of an infrared-stable fixed point α = α∗ for N...
متن کاملVolume independence in large Nc QCD-like gauge theories
Volume independence in large Nc gauge theories may be viewed as a generalized orbifold equivalence. The reduction to zero volume (or Eguchi-Kawai reduction) is a special case of this equivalence. So is temperature independence in confining phases. A natural generalization concerns volume independence in “theory space” of quiver gauge theories. In pure Yang-Mills theory, the failure of volume in...
متن کاملGradient-Like Flows and Self-Indexing in Stratified Morse Theory
We develop the idea of self-indexing and the technology of gradient-like vector fields in the setting of Morse theory on a complex algebraic stratification. Our main result is the local existence, near a Morse critical point, of gradientlike vector fields satisfying certain “stratified dimension bounds up to fuzz” for the ascending and descending sets. As a global consequence of this, we derive...
متن کاملNonminimal Derivative Couplings and Inflation in Generalized Theories of Gravity
We study extended theories of gravity where nonminimal derivative couplings of the form Rφ, kφ, l are present in the Lagrangian. We show how and why the other couplings of similar structure may be ruled out and then deduce the field equations and the related cosmological models. Finally, we get inflationary solutions which do follow neither from any effective scalar field potential nor from a c...
متن کاملMotion of test bodies in theories with nonminimal coupling
We derive the equations of motion of test bodies for a theory with nonminimal coupling by means of a multipole method. The propagation equations for pole-dipole particles are worked out for a gravity theory with a very general coupling between the curvature scalar and the matter fields. Our results allow for a systematic comparison with the equations of motion of general relativity and other gr...
