The problem of computing the anomalous dimensions of a class of (nearly) half-BPS operators with a large R-charge is reduced to the problem of diagonalizing a Cuntz oscillator chain. Due to the large dimension of the operators we consider,…
A general semiclassical method in phase space based on the final value representation of the Wigner function is considered that bypasses caustics and the need to root-search for classical trajectories. We demonstrate its potential by…
The path integral formulation in quantum mechanics corresponds to the first quantization since it is just to rewrite the quantum mechanical amplitude into many dimensional integrations over discretized coordinates $x_n$. However, the path…
Feynman's path integral approach is studied in the framework of the Wigner-Dunkl deformation of quantum mechanics. We start with reviewing some basics from Dunkl theory and investigate the time evolution of a Gaussian wave packet, which…
We study quantum loop corrections to two-point functions and extraction of physical quantities in a five-dimensional $\phi^4$ theory on an orbifold. At two-loop level, we find that divergence for quartic derivative terms of $(p^2)^2$ appear…
Quantum oscillation phenomena, in conventional 2-dimensional electron systems and in the fractional quantum Hall effect, are usually treated in the Lifshitz-Kosevich formalism. This is justified in three dimensions by Luttinger's expansion,…
The quark form factor is known to exponentiate within the framework of dimensionally regularized perturbative QCD. The logarithm of the form factor is expressed in terms of integrals over the scale of the running coupling. I show that these…

We estimate the lattice artifacts in loop correction perturbatively for domain-wall QCD with infinite number of extra flavors. We find that there appear no ${\cal O}(a)$ errors in renormalization factors of quark wave function, mass and…
We study the threshold corrections for inclusive deep-inelastic scattering (DIS) and their all-order resummation. Using recent results for the QCD form factor, related anomalous dimensions and Mellin moments of DIS structure functions at…
An alternative perturbative expansion in quantum mechanics which allows a full expression of the scaling arbitrariness is introduced. This expansion is examined in the case of the anharmonic oscillator and is conveniently resummed using a…
The overcompleteness of the coherent states basis leads to a multiplicity of representations of Feynman's path integral. These different representations, although equivalent quantum mechanically, lead to different semiclassical limits. Two…
The dominant cutoff effects in lattice QCD with Wilson quarks are proportional to the lattice spacing a. In particular, the isovector axial current satisfies the PCAC relation only up to such effects. Following a suggestion of Symanzik,…
In the planar limit of QCD meson correlation functions can be written as a path-integral for a spin-half particle with each path being weighted by the expectation value of the corresponding Super Wilson Loop. An important quantity in this…
Lattice QCD has become an essential tool for studying the hadron-hadron interaction from the first principles. However, when extracting infinite-volume scattering parameters from finite-volume energy levels, the traditional L\"uscher…
In this work we calculate the renormalization of counterterms which arise in the lattice action of $N = 1$ Supersymmetric QCD (SQCD). In particular, the fine-tunings for quartic couplings are studied in detail through both continuum and…

We compute the three loop MSbar anomalous dimension for the 3-quark operator corresponding to the proton. This requires the treatment of gamma^5 within dimensional regularization as well as evanescent operators generated through the…
Correlation functions of Wilson lines are relevant for describing the infrared structure of scattering amplitudes. We develop a new method for evaluating a wide class of such Wilson line integrals, and apply it to the calculation of the…
