Within the general setting of algebraic quantum field theory, a new approach to the analysis of the physical state space of a theory is presented; it covers theories with long range forces, such as quantum electrodynamics. Making use of the…
Calculations for processes involving a high multiplicity of coloured particles often employ a leading colour approximation, where only the leading terms in the expansion of the number of colours $N_c$ and the number of flavours $n_f$ are…
We present the first results for the next-to-next-to leading order (NNLO) corrections to the semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering process in perturbative quantum chromodynamics. We consider the quark initiated flavor non-singlet process…
We define a new concept of local states in the framework of algebraic quantum field theory (AQFT). Local states are a natural generalization of states and give a clear vision of localization in the context of QFT. In terms of them, we can…
We propose and analyze a new time-domain method for subcycle metrology of quantum electric fields using a combination of a 3rd order nonlinear optical process and homodyne detection with a local oscillator (LO) field. The new method enables…

We compute the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) QCD corrections to b \to c l \bar \nu_l decay rate at a fully differential level. Arbitrary cuts on kinematic variables of the decay products can be imposed. Our computation can be used to…
We extend the methods of Yennie, Frautschi and Suura to QCD for the summation of soft gluon effects in which infrared singularities are cancelled to all orders in $\alpha_s$. An explicit formula for the respective \rngp improved…
We present the first calculation of direct photon production at next-to-next-to leading order (NNLO) accuracy in QCD. For this process, although the final state cuts mandate only the presence of a single electroweak boson, the underlying…
The local density of states (LDOS) in finite quantum wires is calculated as a function of discrete energies and position along the wire. By using a combination of numerical density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) calculations and…

We present an approximate NNLO evaluation of the QCD form factor resumming large logarithmic perturbative contributions in semi-inclusive heavy flavour decays.
We discuss the infrared structure of e+e- -> 2 and 3 jets at NNLO in QCD perturbation theory and describe subtraction terms that render the separate parton-level contributions finite. As a first result, we find that the NNLO C_F^2…
The study of top-quark production and decay is central in the LHC physics programme, allowing precise tests of the Standard Model and offering a window on possible new physics. Accurate theoretical predictions for this process are therefore…
We carry out a global QCD analysis of parton-to-pion fragmentation functions at next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) accuracy by performing a fit to the combined set of single-inclusive electron-positron annihilation and, for the first…
New local ultrametricity measures for finite metric data are proposed through the viewpoint that their Vietoris-Rips corners are samples from p-adic Mumford curves endowed with a Radon measure coming from a regular differential 1-form. This…
Motivated by asking how to combine parton showers with nonleading QCD matrix elements, we discuss a subtractive technique based on gauge-invariant Wilson-line operators and how this can be used to treat the soft region.
We employ implicit regularization (IReg) in quark-antiquark decays of the Z, or of a scalar (CP-even or odd) boson at NLO, and compare with dimensional schemes to reveal subtleties involving infrared divergence cancellation and…
The calculation of exclusive cross sections at next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in QCD requires an analytic understanding of the infrared singular structure with up to two unresolved partons. This has so far only been achieved for…
The polarized nucleon structure function in the nonsinglet case is investigated here by a new insight rather than conventional perturbative QCD (pQCD). For this purpose we note that the solution of the evolution equations in moment space…
