Higher-Loop Corrections to the Infrared Evolution of a Gauge Theory with Fermions

Abstract

We consider a vectorial, asymptotically free gauge theory and analyze the effect of higher-loop corrections to the beta function on the evolution of the theory from the ultraviolet to the infrared. We study the case in which the theory contains $N_f$ copies of a fermion transforming according to the fundamental representation and several higher-dimensional representations of the gauge group. We also calculate higher-loop values of the anomalous dimension of the mass, ${\gamma }_m$ of $\bar{\psi }\psi$ at the infrared zero of the beta function. We find that for a given theory, the values of ${\gamma }_m$ calculated to three- and four-loop order, and evaluated at the infrared zero computed to the same order, tend to be somewhat smaller than the value calculated to two-loop order. The results are compared with recent lattice simulations.
