| Abstract: |
The gauge-boson, ghost and fermion propagators as well as the gauge-boson–ghost vertex functionare studied for SU(N ), Sp(2N ) and SO(N ) gauge groups. We solve a set of coupled Dyson-Schwingerequations in Landau gauge for a variable, fractional number Nf of massless fermions in the funda-mental representation. For large Nf we find a phase transition from a chirally broken into a chirallysymmetric phase that is consistent with the behavior expected inside the conformal window. Evenin the presence of fermions the gauge-boson–ghost-vertex dressing remains small. In the conformalwindow this vertex shows the expected power law behavior. It does not assume its tree-level valuein the far infrared, but the respective dressing function is a constant greater than one |
