abstract

$\beta$-functions for abelian and non-abelian gauge theories are studied in the regime where the large $N$ flavor expansion is applicable. The first nontrivial order in the 1/$N$ expansion is known for any value of $N\alpha$, and there are also various indications as to the nature of higher order effects. The singularity structure as a function of $N\alpha$ has implications for the existence of nontrivial fixed points.

Probing Large $N_f$ Through Schemes

hep-ph · 2025-07-22 · conditional · novelty 5.0

At most one renormalization scheme can keep the leading term of the large-Nf beta function dominant, so truncated large-Nf predictions of ultraviolet fixed points are not scheme-robust.
