Three different approaches to precisely describe the Adler function in the Euclidean regime at around $2\, \mathrm{GeVs}$ are available: dispersion relations based on the hadronic production data in $e^+e^-$ annihilation, lattice…
In the context of OPE and using the large-$\beta_0$ approximation, we propose a method to define Wilson coefficients free from uncertainties due to IR renormalons. We first introduce a general observable $X(Q^2)$ with an explicit IR cutoff,…
The low energy behavior of the Adler function D(Q^2) is studied by employing recently derived integral representation for the latter. This representation embodies the nonperturbative constraints on D(Q^2), in particular, it retains the…
In the framework of analytic approach to QCD, which has been recently intensively developed, the dependence of nonperturbative contributions in a running coupling of strong interaction on initial perturbative approximation to 3-loop order…
The contribution from hadronic vacuum polarisation effects is responsible for a large fraction of the theoretical uncertainty in the running of the QED coupling. The current level of uncertainty has become a limitation for electroweak…
Power corrections in QCD (both conventional and unconventional ones arising from the ultraviolet region) are discussed within the infrared finite coupling-dispersive approach. It is shown how power corrections in Minkowskian quantities can…
We address several aspects of lattice QCD calculations of the hadronic vacuum polarization and the associated Adler function. We implement a representation derived previously which allows one to access these phenomenologically important…
We analyse the data for the proton structure function $F_2$ over the entire $Q^2$ domain, including especially low $Q^2$, in terms of perturbative and non-perturbative QCD contributions. The small distance configurations are given by…
The electromagnetic coupling receives significant contributions to its running from non-perturbative QCD effects. We present an update of a lattice QCD study of the Adler function and of its application to the determination of the running…
Standard power-behaved contributions in QCD arising from non-perturbative effects at low scale can be described, as shown by Dokshitzer, Marchesini and Webber, with the notion of an infrared regular effective coupling. In their approach, a…
We apply the Euler transformation to accelerate the convergence of the QCD perturbative series with the aim to determine the strong coupling $\alpha_s$ in terms of the total $\tau$-decay rate $r_\tau$. The variation of the result with the…
The total energy of a static quark-antiquark pair $E_{\rm tot}(r)=2m_{\rm pole}+V_{\rm QCD}(r)$ is known to be predictable up to ${\cal O}(\Lambda_{\rm QCD}^3 r^2)$ and ${\cal O}(\frac{\Lambda_{\rm QCD}^3}{\overline{m}^2})$ renormalon…
The summary of nonperturbative results for the QCD invariant coupling bar{alpha}_s obtained by lattice simulations for functional integral and by solution of approximate Dyson--Schwinger equations reveals a puzzling variety of IR behavior…
The Adler function D is found {\em exactly} in supersymmetric QCD. Our exact formula relates D(Q^2) to the anomalous dimension of the matter superfields \gamma (\alpha_s(Q^2)). En rout we prove another theorem: the absence of the so-called…
We perform a perturbative QCD analysis of the nucleon's Pauli form factor $F_2(Q^2)$ in the asymptotically large $Q^2$ limit. We find that the leading contribution to $F_2(Q^2)$ has a $1/Q^6$ power behavior, consistent with the well-known…
The computational requirements and dynamics of Monte Carlo simulations of unquenched QCD incorporating the infrared quark eigenmodes (up to $\approx \Lambda_{QCD}$) exactly and UV modes via a loop representation are discussed. The accuracy…
In these lectures we give a concise introduction to the ideas of renormalon calculus in QED and QCD. We focus in particular on the example of the Adler D function of vacuum polarization, and on relations between perturbative renormalon…
Perturbative QCD has made significant progress over the last few decades. In the first part, we present an introductory overview of perturbative QCD as seen from a modern viewpoint. We explain the relation between purely perturbative…
Based on the compilation of the available e^+e^- data, we present a non-perturbative estimation of the Adler function derived from the electromagnetic current correlator, and compare it with theoretical predictions from perturbative QCD…
