Description
We explore the possibility that the observed bulk transition at N_f = 12 be identified with an ultraviolet fixed point (UVFP), whose existence has been recently conjectured by Kaplan and collaborators, based on AdS/CFT. A preliminary scaling analysis favours a first order nature of the bulk phase transition. However, we argue that the AdS/CFT inspired scenario might be realized at the endpoint of the bulk transition line, at the critical value of N_f where conformality is lost.
