Phase structure of complete asymptotically free SU($N_c$) theories with quarks and scalar quarks

Understand

We determine the phase diagram of complete asymptotically free SU($N_c$) gauge theories featuring $N_s$ complex scalars and $N_f$ Dirac quarks transforming according to the fundamental representation of the gauge group.

• The analysis is performed at the maximum known order in perturbation theory.
• We unveil a very rich dynamics and associated phase structure.
• Intriguingly we discover that the complete asymptotically free conditions guarantee that the infrared dynamics displays long distance conformality, and in a regime when perturbation theory is applicable.
