Abstract
Quantum field theories can exist in different phases depending on the number of massless fermion flavors they have. The vacuum structure of such a theory can be changed by varying the flavor number across a cri tical value. In this lecture we discuss such structure changing phase transitions in three and four dimensional gauge held theories.
