Title: Vacuum phases of gauge theories
Abstract: Understanding the dynamics of strongly coupled non-Abelian gauge theories constitutes one of the ongoing grand challenges in theoretical physics.
This has been motivated by the need to understand long-distance behavior of quantum chromodynamics, and by the possible phenomenological applications in dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking or strongly coupled and composite dark sectors. I will briefly outline these motivations, and then discuss how first principle lattice methods have been adapted to provide results on vacuum phase diagrams of strongly coupled gauge theories with different gauge groups and various fermion representations.
