Title:Broken Conformal Window
View PDFAbstract:We show that the edges of the conformal window of supersymmetric $SU(N_c)$ QCD, perturbed by Anomaly Mediated Supersymmetry Breaking (AMSB), break chiral symmetry. We do so by perturbatively expanding around Banks--Zaks fixed points and taking advantage of Seiberg duality. Interpolating between the edges of the conformal window, we predict that non-supersymmetric QCD breaks chiral symmetry up to $N_f \leq 3N_c - 1$, while we cannot say anything definitive for $N_f \geq 3N_c$ at this moment.

arXivLabs: experimental projects with community collaborators
arXivLabs is a framework that allows collaborators to develop and share new arXiv features directly on our website.
Both individuals and organizations that work with arXivLabs have embraced and accepted our values of openness, community, excellence, and user data privacy. arXiv is committed to these values and only works with partners that adhere to them.
