We present a scheme-independent calculation of the infrared value of the anomalous dimension of the fermion bilinear, $\gamma_{\bar\psi\psi,IR}$ in an SU(3) gauge theory as a function of the number of fermions, $N_f$, via a series expansion in powers of $\Delta_f$, where $\Delta_f=(16.5-N_f)$, to order $\Delta_f^4$. We perform an extrapolation to obtain the first determination of the exact $\gamma_{\bar\psi\psi,IR}$ from continuum field theory. The results are compared with calculations of the…

Exploring higher dimensional quantum field theories through fixed points
Renormalization was popularised in the 1940s following the appearance of non- sensical infinities in the calculation of the self-energy of the electron. Notably this led to Quantum Electrodynamics
Conformal window from conformal expansion
We study the conformal window of asymptotically free gauge theories containing $N_f$ flavors of fermion matter transforming to the vector and two-index representations of $SO(N),~SU(N)$ and $Sp(2N)$
