Phase Diagrams of Strongly Interacting Theories

TL;DR

This paper reviews the phase diagrams of various strongly interacting gauge theories, exploring their properties based on flavors, colors, and matter representations, and discusses potential gauge-dualities and their effects on conformal windows.

Contribution

It provides a comprehensive summary of phase diagrams for SU, SO, and Sp gauge theories, including phenomenologically relevant chiral models and the possibility of gauge-duals in non-supersymmetric theories.

Findings

Phase diagrams mapped for SU, SO, Sp theories

Identification of chiral gauge theories like Bars-Yankielowicz and Georgi-Glashow

Discussion on gauge-duals and their impact on conformal windows

Abstract

We summarize the phase diagrams of SU, SO and Sp gauge theories as function of the number of flavors, colors, and matter representation as well as the ones of phenomenologically relevant chiral gauge theories such as the Bars-Yankielowicz and the generalized Georgi-Glashow models. We finally report on the intriguing possibility of the existence of gauge-duals for nonsupersymmetric gauge theories and the impact on their conformal window.
