8. Our use of (Formula presented) with one SM family of technifermions ((Formula presented) technidoublets) is based on the inference from the two-loop beta function and gap equations that this theory confines, spontaneously breaks chiral symmetry, and has an approximate infrared-stable fixed point that gives rise to walking behavior. Efforts continue to try to use lattice gauge theory methods to answer the question, in a (vectorial) (Formula presented) gauge theory, of what the critical value is for the number of massless fermions in the fundamental representation at which the theory goes over from a phase with confinement and spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking to a non-Abelian Coulomb phase.
