abstract
We investigate the zero temperature chiral phase transition in an SU(N) gauge theory as the number of fermions $N_f$ is varied. We argue that there exists a critical number of fermions $N_f^c$, above which there is no chiral symmetry breaking or confinement, and below which both chiral symmetry breaking and confinement set in. We estimate $N_f^c$ and discuss the nature of the phase transition.

In a toy qubit model of quarks, baryons are fortuitous with exponential counting and super-exponential complexity while mesons are monotone with polynomial counting and power-law complexity.
Lecture notes develop semiclassical methods to compute large-n scaling dimensions of composite operators in CFTs, recovering known results in free theory and deriving one-loop corrections at the Wilson-Fisher fixed point.
