QCD evolution equations in $\text{MS}$-like schemes can be recovered from the same equations in a modified theory, QCD in non-integer $d=4-2\epsilon$ dimensions, which enjoys exact scale and conformal invariance at the critical point.…
N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory exhibits a rather surprising duality of Wilson-loop vacuum expectation values and scattering amplitudes. In this paper, we investigate this correspondence at the diagram level. We find that one-loop…
We establish a correspondence between ultraviolet singularities of soft factors for multiparticle production and rapidity singularities of soft factors for multiparton scattering. This correspondence is a consequence of the conformal…
We compute the four-loop QCD corrections to the massless quark-anti-quark-photon form factor $F_q$ in the large-$N_c$ limit. From the pole part we extract analytic expressions for the corresponding cusp and collinear anomalous dimensions.
We give observations about dualities where one of the dual theories is geometric. These are illustrated with a duality between the simple harmonic oscillator and a topological field theory. We then discuss the Wilson loop in the context of…
We present results for the planar contribution to the four-loop anomalous dimension for a general N=2 supersymmetric Chern-Simons theory in three dimensions. These results should facilitate higher-order superconformality checks for theories…
We compute analytically the matter-dependent contributions to the quartic Casimir term of the four-loop light-like cusp anomalous dimension in QCD, with $n_f$ fermion and $n_s$ scalar flavours. The result is extracted from the double pole…
In previous investigations, it was found that four-sided polygonal light-like Wilson loops in ABJM theory calculated to two-loop order have the same form as the corresponding Wilson loop in N = 4 SYM at one-loop order. Here we study…
In this work, we compute the anomalous dimensions of the $\phi^Q$ operator in six-dimensional cubic scalar theory. The renormalization analysis is carried out within the framework of the Operator Product Expansion method, while the…
We introduce a new purely bosonic, $\frac{1}{6}$ BPS Wilson loop for ABJM theory on $S^3$ that couples scalar fields to a latitude at an angle $\theta$ on $S^2\in\mathbb{C}P^3$. Through localization of this operator, we relate the expansion…
We explore the relation between resummation and explicit multi-loop calculations for QCD hard-scattering amplitudes. We describe how the factorization properties of amplitudes lead to the exponentiation of double and single poles at each…
We study the collinear fragmentation of highly energetic jets defined with a small jet radius. In particular, we investigate how the corresponding fragmentation functions differ from their hadronic counterpart defined in the common…
We describe the calculation of the two--loop massive operator matrix elements with massive external fermions in QED. We investigate the factorization of the $O(\alpha^2)$ initial state corrections to $e^+e^-$ annihilation into a virtual…
We study light-like polygonal Wilson loops in three-dimensional Chern-Simons and ABJM theory to two-loop order. For both theories we demonstrate that the one-loop contribution to these correlators cancels. For pure Chern-Simons, we find…
We discuss an AdS / QCD model that consider anomalous dimensions. The effect of this kind of dimensions is considered as a mass term that depend on holographical coordenate for duals modes in bulk.
