Abstract

We make a few general comments on the Renormalization Group flows in certain\nYang-Mills theories in the vicinity of phase transitions. We then present a\nmodel in d=5 with non-periodic boundary conditions where a possible RG flow\nstarts from the trivial point and ends on a quantum phase transition. Near the\nendpoint of the flow interesting comments can be made about the Higgs hierarchy\nproblem.\n
