Abstract

Recently, a geometric approach to operator mixing in massless QCD-like theories -- that involves canonical forms based on the Poincare'-Dulac theorem for the linear system that defines the renormalized mixing matrix in the coordinate representation Z(x,μ)Z(x,\mu) -- has been advocated in arXiv:2103.15527 . As a consequence, a classification of operator mixing in four cases -- depending on the canonical forms of γ(g)β(g)- \frac{\gamma(g)}{\beta(g)}, with γ(g)=γ0g2+\gamma(g)=\gamma_0 g^2+\cdots the matrix of the anomalous dimensions and β(g)=β0g3+\beta(g)=-\beta_0 g^3 + \cdots the beta function -- has been proposed: (I) nonresonant γ0β0\frac{\gamma_0}{\beta_0} diagonalizable, (II) resonant γ0β0\frac{\gamma_0}{\beta_0} diagonalizable, (III) nonresonant γ0β0\frac{\gamma_0}{\beta_0} nondiagonalizable, (IV) resonant γ0β0\frac{\gamma_0}{\beta_0} nondiagonalizable. In particular, in arXiv:2103.15527 a detailed analysis of the case (I) -- where operator mixing reduces to all orders of perturbation theory to the multiplicatively renormalizable case -- has been provided. In the present paper, following the aforementioned approach, we work out in the remaining three cases the canonical forms for γ(g)β(g)- \frac{\gamma(g)}{\beta(g)} to all orders of perturbation theory, the corresponding UV asymptotics of Z(x,μ)Z(x,\mu), and the physics interpretation. We also work out in detail physical realizations of the cases (I) and (II).
