 cey\nTitle: Topics in conformal field theories in d dimensions\nAbstract: 
 We report on recent work in relation to properties of conformal field theo
 ries in spacetime dimensions d &gt\; 2.\nThe presentation is in two parts 
 where the focus in the first is on scalar cubic theories which are studied
  in relation to the Lee-Yang model and percolation theory.\nEstimates of c
 ritical exponents at the Wilson-Fisher fixed point derived from Schnetz's 
 six loop renormalization are produced. Applying resummation methods the ex
 ponent estimates are in good agreement with estimates from other methods s
 uch as Monte Carlo\, high T_c expansions\, functional renormalization grou
 p and the conformal bootstrap.\nThe second part concentrates on nonabelian
  gauge theories and in particular the Banks-Zaks-Caswell (BZC) fixed point
  in four dimensions which defines the conformal window.\nUsing the BZC exp
 ansion we compute several critical exponents to fourth order for SU(3) pro
 ducing estimates which\, with a suitable resummation\, are in reasonable a
 greement with lattice field theory across the full conformal window. An es
 timate of the location of the lower conformal window boundary is indicated
  and compared with those from other methods.\nThe situation with other col
 our groups and quark representations is also discussed.\n
