Fixing the conformal window in QCD
Georges Grunberg
Abstract
A physical characterization of Landau singularities is emphasized, which should trace the lower boundary Nf* of the conformal window in QCD and supersymmetric QCD. A natural way to disentangle ``perturbative'' from ``non-perturbative'' contributions to amplitudes below Nf* is suggested. Assuming an infrared fixed point persists in the perturbative part of the QCD coupling even below Nf* leads to the condition γ(Nf*)=1, where γis the critical exponent. Using the Banks-Zaks expansion, one gets 4<Nf*<6. This result is incompatible with the existence of an analogue of Seiberg duality in QCD. The presence of a negative ultraviolet fixed point is required both in QCD and in supersymmetric QCD to preserve causality within the conformal window. Evidence for the existence of such a fixed point in QCD is provided.
