We present an update of our project of computing the meson spectrum and decay constants in large-N QCD. The results are obtained in the quenched approximation with the Wilson fermion action for N = 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 17 and extrapolated…
A new symmetry-preserving loop regularization method proposed in \cite{ylw} is further investigated. It is found that its prescription can be understood by introducing a regulating distribution function to the proper-time formalism of…
Dimensional Reduction is applied to \qcd{} in order to compute various renormalization constants in the \drbar{} scheme at higher orders in perturbation theory. In particular, the $\beta$ function and the anomalous dimension of the quark…
Dynamical chiral symmetry breaking is described within the linear sigma model of QCD coupled to quarks. The main technical tool used for this intrinsically non--perturbative problem is an exact renormalization group equation for the quantum…
Some new results on nonperturbative renormalisation of quark bilinears in quenched QCD with Schroedinger Functional techniques are presented. Special emphasis is put on a study of the universality of the continuum limit for step scaling…
A new renormalization scheme for theories with nontrivial internal symmetry is proposed. The scheme is regularization independent and respects the symmetry requirements.
The critical quark mass, at which the renormalised mass vanishes, is computed in the Schrodinger functional scheme with a non vanishing background field at one-loop order of perturbation theory. Further one-loop calculations are done for…
We present results for the non-perturbative renormalisation of four-fermion operators with two flavours of dynamical quarks. We consider both fully relativistic left current-left current operators, and a full basis for $\Delta B=2$…
We suggest a non-minimal renormalization scheme based on dimensional regularization that naturally incorporates threshold effects of heavy particles. By renormalizing couplings and masses to subtract all poles in $d \geq 4$, the resulting…
We discuss renormalization in a toy model with one fermion field and one real scalar field phi, featuring a spontaneously broken discrete symmetry which forbids a fermion mass term and a phi^3 term in the Lagrangian. We employ a…
We discuss the necessity of non-perturbative renormalization in QCD and HQET and explain the general strategy for solving this problem. A few selected topics are discussed in some detail, namely the importance of off-shell improvement in…
The single renormalon-chain contribution to the correlator of scalar currents in QCD is calculated in the $\bar{MS}$-scheme in the limit of a large $N_f$. We find that in the factorial growth of the coefficients due to renormalons takes…
We use the BLM method to fix the renormalization scale of the QCD coupling in exclusive hadronic amplitudes such as the pion form factor and the photon-to-pion transition form factor at large momentum transfer.…
I review the strategies which have been developped in recent years to solve the non-perturbative renormalization problem in lattice field theories. Although the techniques are general, the focus will be on applications to lattice QCD. I…
Infrared divergences from the exchange of dynamically screened magnetic gluons (photons) lead to the breakdown of the Fermi liquid description of the {\em normal} state of cold and dense QCD and QED. We implement a resummation of these…
We reanalyze the perturbative QCD (pQCD) corrections to quarkonium QCD sum rules and extract the heavy quark masses $\overline{m}_{q}(\overline{m}_{q})$ ($q=c,b$). At present, the pQCD corrections to the correlation functions of two…
We discuss the renormalisation properties of the full set of $\Delta F=2$ operators involved in BSM processes, including the definition of RGI versions of operators that exhibit mixing under RG transformations. As a first step for a fully…
We investigate the restoration of chiral symmetry at finite temperature in the SU(2) quark meson model where the mean field approximation is compared to the renormalized version for quarks and mesons. In a combined approach at finite…
We discuss the gauge dependence of fermion mass definition and physical result under the conventional on-shell mass renormalization scheme and the recently proposed pole mass renormalization scheme in standard model. By the two-loop…
For the heavy quarkonium system we examine ${\cal O}(\Lambda_{\rm QCD}^2/m)$ renormalons, which are expected to be included in the perturbative series of the pole mass and $1/(mr^2)$ interquark potential. We find indications of existence…
