Abstract

In this work, we investigate a coordinate space structure function E(z2m2,λ){\cal E}(z^2m^2,\lambda) in the 2D U(N)U(N) Gross-Neveu model to the next-to-leading order in the large-NN expansion. We analytically perform the twist expansion in the Bjorken limit through double Mellin representations. Hard and non-perturbative scaling functions are naturally generated in their Borel representations with detailed enumerations and explicit expressions provided to all powers. The renormalon cancellation at t=nt=n between the hard functions at powers pp and the non-perturbative functions at powers p+np+n are explicitly verified, and the issue of ``scale-dependency'' of the perturbative and non-perturbative functions is explained naturally. Simple expressions for the leading power non-perturbative functions are also provided both in the coordinate space and the momentum-fraction space (0<α<10<\alpha<1) with ``zero-mode-type'' subtractions at α=0\alpha=0 discussed in detail. In addition to the Bjorken limit, we also perform the threshold expansion of the structure function up to the next-to-next-to-leading threshold power exactly and investigate the resurgence relation between threshold and ``Regge'' asymptotics. We also prove that the twist expansion is absolutely convergent for any 0<z2<0<z^2<\infty and any λiR0 \lambda \in iR_{\ge 0}.
