Description

We explore aspects of the phase structure of $SU(2)$ and $SU(3)$ lattice gauge theories at strong coupling with many flavours $N_f$ of Wilson fermions in the fundamental representation. The pseudoscalar meson mass and the quark mass as a function of hopping parameter are observed to deviate from the expected analytic dependence, at least for sufficiently large $N_f$. Implications of this effect and the phase structure about the existence or non-existence of Aoki phase are discussed, including the relevance to recent searches for the conformal window.
