Abstract: A classically scale-invariant 6d analog of the 4d Yang-Mills theory is the 4-derivative (ablaF)2+F3 gauge theory with two independent couplings. Motivated by a search for a perturbatively conformal but possibly non-unitary 6d models we compute the one-loop -functions in this theory. A systematic way of doing this using the background field method requires the expression for the b6 Seeley-DeWitt coefficient for a generic 4-derivative operator. It was previously unknown and we derive it here. As an application, we also compute the one-loop -function in the (1,0) supersymmetric (ablaF)2 6d gauge theory constructed in hep-th/0505082.
