abstract
The possibility that gauge theories with chiral symmetry breaking below the conformal window exhibit an infrared fixed point is explored. With this assumption three aspects of pion physics are reproduced if the the quark mass anomalous dimension at the infrared fixed point is $\gamma_* = 1$: First, by matching the long-distance scalar adjoint correlation function. Second, by perturbing the fixed point by a small quark mass, the $m_q$-dependence of the pion mass is reproduced by renormalisation group arguments. Third, consistency of the trace anomaly and the Feynman-Hellmann theorem, for small $m_q$, imply the same result once more. This suggests the following picture for the conformal window: close to its upper boundary $\gamma_*$ is zero and grows as the number of fermions is reduced until its lower boundary $\gamma_*=1$ is reached, where chiral symmetry breaking sets in. Below, the strongly coupled gauge theory with $\gamma_*=1$ is infrared dual to the free theory of pions. A possible dilaton sector of the scenario will be addressed in a companion paper.

Gravitational form factors of the nucleon in the Skyrme model based on scale-invariant chiral perturbation theory
A Skyrme model with a dilaton field attributes the proton's negative internal pressure and confining force to the gluonic scale anomaly, and reproduces the lattice QCD D(t) form factor.

From Nuclear Matter with Quenched $g_A$ to Compact-Star Matter with a Signal for Emergent Hidden Scale Symmetry
The paper argues that quenched g_A ≈ 1 in nuclei and the pseudo-conformal sound speed v_s^2/c^2 ≈ 1/3 in compact stars are parallel signals of one emergent hidden scale symmetry.
