We review recent progress in the lattice investigations of near-conformal non-Abelian gauge theories relevant for dynamical symmetry breaking and model building of composite Higgs models. The emphasis is placed on the mass spectrum and the running renormalized coupling. The role of a light composite scalar isosinglet particle as a composite Higgs particle is highlighted.

We discuss questions related to renormalization group and to nonperturbative aspects of non-Abelian gauge theories with N=2 and/or N=1 supersymmetry. Results on perturbative and nonperturbative β functions of these theories are reviewed, and new mechanisms of confinement and dynamical symmetry breaking recently found in a class of SU(nc), USp(2nc) and SO(nc) theories are discussed.

We study the role of geometrical and topological concepts in the recent developments of theoretical physics, notably in non-Abelian gauge theories and superstring theory, and further we show the great significance of these concepts for a deeper understanding of the dynamical laws of physics. This work aims to demonstrate that the global topological properties of the manifold's model of spacetime play a major role in quantum field theory and that, therefore, several physical quantum effects arise from the nonlocal metrical and topological structure of this manifold. We mathematically argue the need for building new structures of space with different topology. This means, in particular, that the “hidden” symmetries of fundamental physics can be related to the phenomenon of topological change of certain classes of (presumably) nonsmooth manifolds.

Model building based on Abelian quiver gauge theories gives models which resemble trinification, originally proposed with yottavolt unification. However, unification occurs in the teravolt range so proton decay must be completely excluded in the scalar sector. It is straightforward to accomplish this by a discrete symmetry which is a generalized baryon number B. Unlike in trinification, this is possible because quarks and leptons acquire masses from relevant operators which appear in four-dimensional conformal symmetry breaking.
