Comments on lattice gauge theories with infrared-attractive fixed points

Abstract

Theories of interacting gauge fields and fermions can possess a running gauge coupling with an infrared attractive fixed point (IRFP). We present a minimal description of the physics of these systems and comment on some simple expectations for results from lattice simulations done within the basin of attraction of the IRFP in these theories.
