Walking in the SU(N)
  We study the phase diagram as function of the number of colours and flavours of asymptotically free non-supersymmetric theories with matter in higher dimensional representations of arbitrary SU(N) gauge groups. Since matter in higher dimensional representations screens more than in the fundamental a general feature is that a lower number of flavours is needed to achieve a near-conformal theory. We study the spectrum of the theories near the fixed point and consider possible applications of our analysis to the dynamical breaking of the electroweak symmetry.
