The anomalous dimensions of four-quark operators $(\bar q_i q_j)_{V-A} (\bar q_k q_l)_{V-A}$ are calculated in the large $N_f$ limit. As expected, the result is a convergent series without renormalon ambiguities. Using the approximation of…

Effective field theories (EFT) parameterize the long-distance effects of short-distance dynamics whose details may or may not be known. It is known that EFT coefficients must obey certain positivity constraints if causality and unitarity…
