Description

The conformal window of a general class of gauge theories featuring a weakly coupled UV fixed point is investigated at next-to-next-to-leading order and found to lie completely within the domain of perturbation theory. Constraints are derived in various approximations, finding that vacuum instability yields the tightest constraint at NNLO.
