Description
We study the dynamics and interrelation of chiral symmetry breaking and
confinement in QCD in the many flavour limit. This includes an
investigation
of close-conformal theories, also providing a quantitative estimate for
the lower boundary of the Caswell-Bank-Zaks window. This work is done with
the functional renormalisation group approach to first principle QCD,
and offers a self-consistent framework for charting out
the landscape of strongly interacting gauge-fermion theories potentially
relevant for beyond Standard Model physics.
