Conformal symmetry of QCD in d-dimensions

QCD in $d=4-2\epsilon$ space-time dimensions possesses a nontrivial critical point. Scale invariance usually implies conformal symmetry so that there are good reasons to expect that QCD at the critical point restricted to the gauge invariant subsector provides one with an example of a conformal field theory. The aim of this letter is to present a technical proof of this statement which is important both as a matter of principle and for applications.
