摘要:Viable candidate theories for electroweak dynamical symmetry breaking are expected to show (near) conformal behaviour in order to accommodate current phenomenological constraints. In principle, renormalisation group studies using finite volume renormalisation schemes are wellsuited to verify this property in a given model. The most practical schemes are based on the Schrödinger functional (SF), but suffer from potentially large O(a) effects. Some care has to be taken to remove these effects and to set up a scheme where cutoff effects are small and under control. We here take a step in this direction by analysing various set-ups for the SF coupling at one-loop order in perturbation theory.
