Conformal N=0 d=4 Gauge Theories from AdS/CFT Superstring Duality?

Abstract

Non-supersymmetric d=4 gauge theories which arise from superstring duality on a manifold $Ad{S}_5\times S_5/Z_p$ are cataloged for a range $2\le p\le 41$. A number have vanishing two-loop gauge β-function, a necessary but not sufficient condition to be a conformal field theory.
