摘要:SU(3) gauge theory with dynamical overlap fermions in the 2-index symmetric (sextet) representation
is considered. This model may be a viable model of the electroweak symmetry breaking
sector along the lines of the walking technicolor paradigm. The number of fermion species is chosen
such that the theory is expected to be below the conformal window. We will discuss how the
e -regime and random matrix theory can be used to test whether at any given set of parameters (Nc,
Nf , representation) the theory is in the conformal phase or indeed just below it. Quenched Monte
Carlo results are included in the fundamental representation and also preliminary dynamical ones
in the 2-index symmetric representation.
