| الوصف: | The step-scaling function, the lattice analog of the renormalization group $\beta$ function, is presented for the SU(3) gauge system with eight flavors in the fundamental representation. Our investigation is based on generating dynamical eight flavor gauge field configurations using stout-smeared M\"obius domain wall fermions and Symanzik gauge action. On these gauge field configurations we perform gradient flow measurements using the Zeuthen, Wilson, or Symanzik kernel and consider the Symanzik, Wilson plaquette, or clover operators to determine step-scaling functions for a scale change $s=2$ including large, up to $48^4$, volumes. Considering different flows and operators as well as the optional use of tree-level improvement allows us to check for possible systematic effects. Our result covers the range of renormalized coupling up to $g_c^2 \lesssim 10$. In the case of $N_f=8$ we observe that the reach in $g_c^2$ is limited due to an unphysical first order bulk phase transition caused by large ultra-violet fluctuations. We compare our findings to $N_f=4$, 6, 10 or 12 flavors results that are obtained using the same lattice action and analysis. In addition we investigate the phase structure for simulations with different number of flavors using stout-smeared M\"obius domain wall fermions and Symanzik gauge actions to shed some light on the limited reach in $g_c^2$.
