A bstractWe present details of a lattice study of infrared behaviour in SU(3) gauge theory with twelve massless fermions in the fundamental representation. Using the step-scaling method, we compute the coupling constant in this theory over a large range of scale. The renormalisation scheme in this work is defined by the ratio of Polyakov loop correlators in the directions with different boundary conditions. We closely examine systematic effects, and find that they are dominated by errors… Expand

It is shown that the rainbow-ladder truncation, commonly employed in QCD studies, is unsuitable for a description of an SU(2) gauge theory with two fundamental fermions, and the need to use techniques more sophisticated when investigating generic strongly interacting gauge theories is emphasized.
