On the particle spectrum and the conformal window
We study the SU(3) gauge theory with twelve flavours of fermions in the
fundamental representation as a prototype of non-Abelian gauge theories inside
the conformal window. Guided by the pattern of underlying symmetries, chiral
and conformal, we analyze the two-point functions theoretically and on the
lattice, and determine the finite size scaling and the infinite volume fermion
mass dependence of the would-be hadron masses. We show that the spectrum in the
Coulomb phase of the system can be described in the context of a universal
scaling analysis and we provide the nonperturbative determination of the
fermion mass anomalous dimension gamma*=0.235(46) at the infrared fixed point.
We comment on the agreement with the four-loop perturbative prediction for this
quantity and we provide a unified description of all existing lattice results
for the spectrum of this system, them being in the Coulomb phase or the
asymptotically free phase. Our results corroborate the view that the fixed
point we are studying is not associated to a physical singularity along the
bare coupling line and estimates of physical observables can be attempted on
either side of the fixed point. Finally, we observe the restoration of the U(1)
axial symmetry in the two-point functions.Comment: 40 pages, 22 figure
Chiral symmetry restoration in QCD with many flavours
We discuss the phases of QCD in the parameter space spanned by the number of
light flavours and the temperature with respect to the realisation of chiral
and conformal symmetries. The intriguing interplay of these symmetries is best
studied by means of lattice simulations, and some selected results from our
recent work are presented here.Comment: 10 pages, proceedings of the 9th International Workshop on Critical

One,Two,Zero: Scales of Strong Interactions
We discuss our results on QCD with a number of fundamental fermions ranging
from zero to sixteen. These theories exhibit a wide array of fascinating
phenomena which have been under close scrutiny, especially in recent years,
first and foremost is the approach to conformality. To keep this review
focused, we have chosen scale generation, or lack thereof as a guiding theme,
however the discussion will be set in the general framework of the analysis of
the phases and phase transitions of strong interactions at zero and nonzero
temperature.Comment: 15 pages, prepared for IJMPA Special Issue 'Recent Nonperturbative

Why bad ideas are a good idea
What would happen if we wrote an Abstract that was the exact opposite of what the paper described? This is a bad idea,
but it makes us think more carefully than usual about properties of Abstracts. This paper describes BadIdeas, a collection
of techniques that uses ???bad??? or ???silly??? ideas to inspire creativity, explore design domains and teach critical thinking in
interaction design. We describe the approach, some evidence, how it is performed in practice and experience in its use.published or submitted for publicationis peer reviewe
