In the reductionistic approach, mechanisms are divided into simpler parts interconnected in some standard way (e.g. by a mechanical transmission). We explore the possibility of porting reductionism in quantum operations. Conceptually, first…
Renormalizability of the (minimal) single-fermion QED extension is investigated at all orders of perturbation theory in the framework of algebraic renormalization, a regularization-independent method. Relative to the standard QED, new…
A new renormalization scheme is defined for fermion bilinears in QCD at non vanishing quark masses. This new scheme, denoted RI/mSMOM, preserves the benefits of the nonexceptional momenta introduced in the RI/SMOM scheme, and allows a…
We extend the dipole formalism of Catani and Seymour to QCD processes involving heavy fermions. We give the appropriate subtraction terms together with their integrated counterpart. All calculations are done within dimensional…
The bilocal expansion of Borel transform provides an efficient way of Borel resummation with low order perturbations in QCD. Its applications to the heavy quark pole mass, static potential, and lattice calculation are reviewed.
We study the properties of different type of transforms by means of operational methods and discuss the relevant interplay with many families of special functions. We consider in particular the binomial transform and its generalizations. A…
We use QCD sum rules to determine the difference between moments of the non-singlet structure functions. This combination decouples from the singular behaviour of the structure functions near x=1 as calculated in the quark-gluon basis and…
In this note a general approach is suggested for comparison of operators. This is done by means of the Fourier transform of a measure. This approach is applied to comparison of approximation properties of various summability methods of the…
We consider series expansions in bases of classical orthogonal polynomials. When such a series solves a linear differential equation with polynomial coefficients, its coefficients satisfy a linear recurrence equation. We interpret this…
A non-technical description of the Operator Product Expansion and Renormalization Group techniques as applied to weak decays of mesons is presented. We use this opportunity to summarize briefly the present status of the next-to-leading QCD…
In the analysis of High-Energy Physics data, it is frequently desired to separate resonant signals from a smooth, non-resonant background. This paper introduces a new technique - functional decomposition (FD) - to accomplish this task. It…
In these lectures, I describe the techniques used within the QCD sum rule approach. The basic concepts of the approach are introduced using a simple model of quantum-mechanical oscillator in 2+1 dimensions. Then I discuss their…
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…
Precise extractions of $\alpha_s$ from $\tau\to {\rm (hadrons)}+\nu_\tau$ and from $e^+e^-\to {\rm (hadrons)}$ below the charm threshold rely on finite energy sum rules (FESRs) where the experimental side is given by integrated spectral…
The determination of renormalization factors is of crucial importance. They relate the observables obtained on finite, discrete lattices to their measured counterparts in the continuum in a suitable renormalization scheme. Therefore, they…
In order to perform faster simulations, the model reduction is nowadays used in industrial contexts to solve large and complex problems. However, the efficiency of such an approach is sometimes cut by the interface size of the reduced model…
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…
The role of the operator-product expansion in QCD calculations is discussed. Approximating the two-point correlation function by several terms and assuming an upper bound on the truncation error along the euclidean ray, we consider two…
Perturbative calculations of the static QCD potential have the $u=3/2$ renormalon uncertainty. In the multipole expansion performed within pNRQCD, this uncertainty at LO is known to get canceled against the ultrasoft correction at NLO. To…
We present a Borel resummation method for the QCD corrections in inclusive, charmless, semileptonic B meson decay. The renormalon contributions are resummed to all orders by employing a bilocal expansion of the Borel transform that…
