18. We focus here on an IR zero of the perturbative β function. A nonperturbative zero in β has been discussed in S.J. Brodsky, G.F. de Téramond, and A. Deur, Phys. Rev. D 81, 096010 (2010); PRVDAQ 1550-7998 10.1103/PhysRevD.81.096010

21. For a χ GT with requisite fermion content, there is also the alternate possibility that the theory may confine and produce massless composite fermions, as discussed in G. 't Hooft, Recent Developments in Gauge Theories, Cargése Summer Institute, 1979 (Plenum, New York, 1980), p. 135;
