III.Summary

Summary Lattice technique can be used to search for realistic WTC models and to see whether the long-standing (~30 yrs) problems in TC are really resolved by WTC. As a first step, we started with the study of running coupling of 10-flavor QCD to identify conformal window in SU(3) GT. The result shows an evidence of IRFP in 3.3 < g 2 FP < 9.4. ⇒ 8< N f c < < γ m < 1.0 is obtained from preliminary analysis. Pinning down γ m requires precise value of the IRFP. Next important task is to calculate S-parameter.
