abstract
The conception of the conformal phase transiton (CPT), which is relevant for the description of non-perturbative dynamics in gauge theories, is introduced and elaborated. The main features of such a phase transition are established. In particular, it is shown that in the CPT there is an abrupt change of the spectrum of light excitations at the critical point, though the phase transition is continuous. The structure of the effective action describing the CPT is elaborated and its connection with the dynamics of the partially conserved dilatation current is pointed out. The applications of these results to QCD, models of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking, and to the description of the phase diagram in (3+1)-dimensional $ SU(N_c)$ gauge theories are considered.

The flavour of SU(15) composite quarks and leptons
A hand-imposed hierarchical texture for two flavour spurions fits the SM quark/lepton masses and CKM, and the same spurions make the electron EDM and K0-Kbar0 mixing the strongest probes of the SU(15) preon scale.

The order of the chiral phase transition in massless many-flavour lattice QCD
Lattice QCD simulations with up to seven flavors indicate that the first-order chiral transition seen on coarse lattices is a cutoff artifact, so the continuum chiral transition is second-order for all flavors up to t...

Lectures on Semiclassical Methods for Composite Operators
Lecture notes develop semiclassical methods to compute large-n scaling dimensions of composite operators in CFTs, recovering known results in free theory and deriving one-loop corrections at the Wilson-Fisher fixed point.

To Break or Not to Break: A Review of a No-Go Theorem on Chiral Symmetry Breaking in QCD-like Theories
A review showing that if a QCD-like theory with enough massless flavors is fully color-screened in the infrared, then chiral symmetry must be spontaneously broken.
