We apply the Operator Product Expansion (OPE) algorithm to the renormalization of scalar-QED theory, with a specific focus on the fixed-charge operator $\phi^Q$. Within the OPE framework, the anomalous dimension of the $\phi^Q$ operator is…

We propose an operator product expansion for planar form factors of local operators in $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM theory. This expansion is based on the dual conformal symmetry of these objects or, equivalently, the conformal symmetry of their…

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…

I give an introduction to the theory of preasymptotic effects based on the systematic OPE/HQET expansion in $1/m_Q$ where $m_Q$ is the heavy quark mass. The general idea is explained in two most instructive examples, with an emphasis on…

The existence of an exactly marginal deformation in a conformal field theory is very special, but it is not well understood how this is reflected in the allowed dimensions and OPE coefficients of local operators. To shed light on this…
