β¦ Synopsis
A methodology is given to test the QCD (N_{t}=2) chiral transition, presently conjectured to be second order. Scaling forms for the correlation length, susceptibilities, and equation of state are given which account for finite lattice spacing. Confirmation by lattice simulation would provide a large set of consistency checks for establishing that the transition is second order. Further corrections from finite volume effects and higher dimensional operator mixing are given. The implications of scaling corrections in finite temperature QCD studies are examined with emphasis on tests for the believed second-order chiral transition within the realistic setting of finite lattice spacing effects. 1995 Academic Press.

We discuss the volume and surface running couplings for O(N) scalar theory in curved spacetime with boundaries. The IR limit of the theory in which it becomes asymptotically conformally invariant is studied, and the existence of IR fixed points for all couplings (also in D=4&= dimensions) is shown.
