We propose a partial answer to the question of what kind of ultrahigh-energy physics has to be taken into account to circumvent the appearance of ultraviolet divergencies; a more than sixty years old open question in quantum…
Recently evidence has been found that the perturbative QCD potential agrees well with phenomenological potentials and lattice computations of the QCD potential. We review the present status of the perturbative QCD potential and theoretical…
We present a non-perturbative formulation of renormalization by viewing the regularized Schwinger-Dyson hierarchy as a meromorphic connection, that is, as a D-module on the product of spacetime with the regulator disc. The irregular…
That the exact quantum S-matrix of $\text{T}\bar{\text{T}}$-deformed field theories is known has interesting consequences for their perturbative renormalisation. Recent investigations into the interplay between renormalisation and…
As applied to quantum theories, the program of renormalization is successful for `renormalizable models' but fails for `nonrenormalizable models'. After some conceptual discussion and analysis, an enhanced program of renormalization is…
In two lectures, we overview the renormalon and renormalon-related techniques and their phenomenological applications. We begin with a single renormalon chain which is a well defined and systematic way to specify the character of…
Discrete wavelet-based methods promise to emerge as an excellent framework for the non-perturbative analysis of quantum field theories. In this work, we investigate aspects of renormalization in theories analyzed using wavelet-based…
We show how the renormalons emerge from the renormalization group equation with a priori no reference to any Feynman diagrams. The proof is rather given by recasting the renormalization group equation as a resurgent equation studied in the…
The causal perturbation theory is an axiomatic perturbative theory of the S-matrix. This formalism has as its essence the following axioms: causality, Lorentz invariance and asymptotic conditions. Any other property must be showed via the…
The exact mass gap of the O(N) Gross-Neveu model is known, for arbitrary $N$, from non-perturbative methods. However, a "naive" perturbative expansion of the pole mass exhibits an infinite set of infrared renormalons at order 1/N, formally…
Computing a perturbative S-matrix through Feynman series in quantum field theory, the regularization used does not affect the final result. We propose a new approach to construction of the perturbative S-matrices, so that they will depend…
In this work we consider the possibility of representing the perturbative series for renormalization group invariant quantities in QCD in the form of their decomposition in powers of the conformal anomaly $\beta(\alpha_s)/\alpha_s$ in the…
The connection between renormalons and power corrections is investigated for the typical infrared renormalon integral assuming the effective coupling constant has an infrared fixed point of an entirely perturbative origin. It is shown that…
The `renormalon' or `dispersive' method for estimating non-perturbative corrections to QCD observables is reviewed. The corrections are power-suppressed, i.e. of the form $A/Q^p$ where $Q$ is the hard process momentum scale. The renormalon…
Matrix models of 2D quantum gravity are either exactly solvable for matter of central charge $ c\leq 1, $ or not understood. It would be useful to devise an approximate scheme which would be reasonable for the known cases and could be…
We discuss the ways of extracting a low energy scale of an underlying theory using high energy scattering data. Within an exactly solvable model of quantum mechanics we analyze a technique based on introduction of nonperturbative power…
We show how to use on-shell unitarity methods to calculate renormalization group coefficients such as beta functions and anomalous dimensions. The central objects are the form factors of composite operators. Their discontinuities can be…
This lecture provides an introduction to the renormalisation group as applied to scattering of two nonrelativistic particles. As well as forming a framework for constructing effective theories of few-nucleon systems, these ideas also…
The structure of the commutator algebra for conformal quantum mechanics is considered. Specifically, it is shown that the emergence of a dimensional scale by renormalization implies the existence of an anomaly or quantum-mechanical symmetry…
The energy-energy correlator (EEC) is an observable of wide interest for collider physics and Standard Model measurements, due to both its simple theoretical description in terms of the energy-momentum tensor and its novel features for…
