Renormalization of the axial current operator in dimensional regularization at four-loop in QCD

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2022-02-04 v2 High Energy Physics - Theory

Abstract

We provide the renormalization constants of the axial current operators, both singlet and non-singlet, in dimensional regularization up to four-loop order in QCD, determined using the off-shell Ward-Takahashi identity for an axial current with a non-anticommuting γ5\gamma_5. A possible application of the result for the singlet axial current operator is the extraction of the non-decoupling mass logarithms in the axial quark form factors.
