Our results from Monte Carlo simulations with N_f=6, predict a second order chiral phase transition. The critical coupling in this case corresponds to an ultra-violet fixed point of the renormalization group defining a non-trivial continuum limit. Further, our numerical simulations provide an estimate for the critical number of fermion flavors, N_fc \approx 6.5.7 pages, 7 figs, Presented at XXIV International Symposium on Lattice Field Theory (Lattice 2006, Tucson, Arizona)High Energy Physics - LatticeStrongly Correlated ElectronsHigh Energy Physics - PhenomenologyHigh Energy Physics - Theorytext
