We give the hyperasymptotic expansion of the plaquette with a precision that includes the terminant associated to the leading renormalon. Subleading effects are also considered. The perturbative series is regulated using the principal value…
We study the operator product expansion of the plaquette (gluon condensate) and the self-energy of an infinitely heavy quark. We first compute their perturbative expansions to order $\alpha^{35}$ and $\alpha^{20}$, respectively, in the…
We examine the QCD perturbation series at large orders, for different values of the 'large $\beta_0$ renormalization scale'. It is found that if we let this scale grow exponentially with the order, the divergent series can be turned into an…
Using numerical stochastic perturbation theory, we determine the first 35 infinite volume coefficients of the perturbative expansion in powers of the strong coupling constant $\alpha$ of the plaquette in SU(3) gluodynamics. These…

We use the "conspiracy" between infrared (IR) renormalons and condensates in the operator product expansion for correlation functions to make predictions concerning the structure of singularities in the Borel plane for the perturbative…
A long-standing problem concerns the question how to consistently combine perturbative expansions in QCD with power corrections in the context of the operator product expansion (OPE), since the former exhibit ambiguities due to infrared…
Numerical Stochastic Perturbation Theory (NSPT) enables very high order computations in Lattice Gauge Theories. We report on the determination of the gluon condensate from lattice QCD measurements of the basic plaquette. This is a long…
We present a new prescription for the resummation of the divergent series of perturbative corrections, due to soft gluon emission, to hard processes near threshold in perturbative QCD (threshold resummation). This prescription is based on…
The perturbative contribution in the average plaquette is subtracted using Borel summation and the remnant of the plaquette is shown to scale as a dim-4 condensate. A critical review is presented of the renormalon subtraction scheme that…
Because of the infrared renormalons, it is difficult to get power accuracy in the traditional approach to the Wilson's operator product expansion. Based on a new perturbative renormalization scheme for power-divergent operators, I propose a…
We apply a recently constructed model of analytic QCD in the Operator Product Expansion (OPE) analysis of the tau lepton decay data in the V+A channel. The model has the running coupling A(Q^2) with no unphysical singularities, i.e., it is…
The power corrections in the Operator Product Expansion (OPE) of QCD correlators can be viewed mathematically as an illustration of the transseries concept, which allows to recover a function from its asymptotic divergent expansion.…
In a recent work by some of us it was shown that the long-standing discrepancy between the QCD perturbation series for the inclusive hadronic tau decay rate computed in the CIPT and FOPT expansion approaches can be understood from the fact…
We propose a clear definition of the gluon condensate within the large-$\beta_0$ approximation as an attempt toward a systematic argument on the gluon condensate. We define the gluon condensate such that it is free from a renormalon…
The singular part of Borel transform of a QCD amplitude near the infrared renormalon can be expanded in terms of higher order Wilson coefficients of the operators associated with the renormalon. In this paper we observe that this expansion…
