abstract

We calculate the step scaling function, the lattice analog of the renormalization group $\beta$-function, for an SU(3) gauge theory with ten fundamental flavors. We present a detailed analysis including the study of systematic effects of our extensive data set generated with ten dynamical flavors using the Symanzik gauge action and three times stout smeared M\"obius domain wall fermions. Using up to $32^4$ volumes, we calculate renormalized couplings for different gradient flow schemes and determine the step-scaling $\beta$ function for a scale change $s=2$ on up to five different lattice volume pairs. In an accompanying paper we discuss that gradient flow can promote lattice dislocations to instanton-like objects, introducing nonperturbative lattice artifacts to the step scaling function. Motivated by the observation that Wilson flow sufficiently suppresses these artifacts, we choose Wilson flow with the Symanzik operator as our preferred analysis. We study systematic effects by calculating the step-scaling function based on alternative flows (Zeuthen or Symanzik), alternative operators (Wilson plaquette, clover), and also explore the effects of the perturbative tree-level improvement. Further we investigate the effects due to the finite value of $L_s$.

  1. Gauge-Fermion Cartography: from confinement and chiral symmetry breaking to conformality

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A non-perturbative fRG calculation charts confinement and chiral symmetry breaking across flavour number and predicts the conformal window boundary at Nf = 9.60 for Nc = 3.

  2. Dilaton Physics from Asymptotic Freedom

    hep-th 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In a large-N 3D Gross-Neveu-Yukawa theory, the endpoint of the conformal window spontaneously breaks scale symmetry, producing a massless dilaton whose decay constant and induced mass obey a universal product formula.

  3. Investigating SU(3) with Nf=8 fundamental fermions at strong renormalized coupling

    hep-lat 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Finite-size scaling of lattice data favors a merged fixed point governing the strong-to-weak coupling transition in SU(3) with eight fundamental flavors, suggesting this system sits at the opening of the conformal window.

  4. Gluon Gravitational $ D$-Form Factor: The $\sigma$-Meson as a Dilaton Confronted with Lattice Data II

    hep-ph 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    σ-pole residues in gluon D-form factors for π, N, ρ and Δ are consistent with dilaton effective theory predictions within large uncertainties.
