We have performed numerical simulations of SU(3) gauge theory coupled to ${N}_{f}=2$ flavors of symmetric-representation fermions. The fermions are discretized with the tadpole-improved clover action. Our simulations are done on lattices of length $L=6$, 8, and 12. In all simulation volumes we observe a crossover from a strongly coupled confined phase to a weak-coupling deconfined phase. Degeneracies in screening masses, plus the behavior of the pseudoscalar decay constant, indicate that the… Expand

Chiral properties of SU(3) sextet fermions
SU(3) gauge theory with overlap fermions in the 2-index symmetric (sextet) and fundamental representations is considered. A priori it is not known what the pattern of chiral symmetry breaking is in a… Expand
Mass anomalous dimension in sextet QCD
We extend our previous study of the SU(3) gauge theory with N_f=2 flavors of fermions in the sextet representation of color. Our tool is the Schroedinger functional method. By changing the lattice… Expand
Mass anomalous dimension in SU(2) with two adjoint fermions
We study SU(2) lattice gauge theory with two flavours of Dirac fermions in the adjoint representation. We measure the running of the coupling in the Schrodinger Functional (SF) scheme and find it is… Expand
Lattice Study on quantum-mechanical dynamics of two-color QCD with six light flavors

Nonperturbative improvement of SU ( 2 ) lattice gauge theory with adjoint or fundamental flavors Karavirta
SU(2) gauge theory with two fermions transforming under the adjoint representation may appear conformal or almost conformal in the infrared, and is one of the candidate theories for building models… Expand
Near the sill of the conformal window: Gauge theories with fermions in two-index representations
We apply Schroedinger functional methods to two gauge theories with fermions in two-index representations: the SU(3) theory with Nf=2 adjoint fermions, and the SU(4) theory with Nf=6 fermions in the… Expand
Finite volume phases of large-N gauge theories with massive adjoint fermions
The phase structure of QCD-like gauge theories with fermions in various representations is an interesting but generally analytically intractable problem. One way to ensure weak coupling is to define… Expand
