We calculate next-to-leading-order (NLO) corrections to the $B\to\pi$ transition form factors at leading twist in the $k_T$ factorization theorem. Light partons off-shell by $k_T^2$ are considered in the quark diagrams, in the effective…
The Feynman-Schwinger representation provides a convenient framework for the cal culation of nonperturbative propagators. In this paper we first investigate an analytically solvable case, namely the scalar QED in 0+1 dimension. With this…
It is shown how the QED concept of a gauge-, scale- and scheme-independent one-loop effective charge can be extended directly at the diagrammatic level to QCD, thus justifying explicitly the ``naive non-abelianization'' prescription used in…
The present work stemmed from the study of the problem of harmonic analysis on the infinite-dimensional unitary group U(\infty). That problem consisted in the decomposition of a certain 4-parameter family of unitary representations, which…
The light-like cusp anomalous dimension is a universal function in the analysis of infrared divergences. In maximally ($\mathcal{N}=4$) supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory (SYM) in the planar limit, it is known, in principle, to all loop…
Following Feynman's successful treatment of the polaron problem we apply the same variational principle to quenched QED in the worldline formulation. New features arise from the description of fermions by Grassmann trajectories, the…
We study the Sudakov form factor on the Coulomb branch of N=4 sYM, which endows only external states with masses, and implies that the former is off-shell in the traditional sense. Our consideration is performed at three-loop order in the…
We study Penner type matrix models in relation with the Nekrasov partition function of four dimensional \mathcal{N}=2, SU(2) supersymmetric gauge theories with N_F=2,3 and 4. By evaluating the resolvent using the loop equation for general…
We study dispersive representations of nonlocal form factors in $K^+ \to \pi^+ \ell^+ \ell^-$ and $K^+ \to \pi^+ \nu \bar{\nu}$ decays, with an aim of improving the theoretical description of the spectrum and decay rate of the neutrino…
The polarization operator (tensor) for planar charged fermions in constant uniform magnetic field is calculated in the one-loop approximation of the 2+1 dimensional quantum electrodynamics (QED$_{2+1}$) with a nonzero fermion density. We…
Let $\ell$ be a prime and let $q$ be a prime power not divisible by $\ell$. Put $G=\mathrm{GL}_n(\mathrm{F}_q)$ and fix an irreducible cuspidal representation, $\bar{\pi}$, of $G$ over a sufficiently large finite field, $k$, of…
We bootstrap the three-point form factor of the chiral part of the stress-tensor supermultiplet in planar $\mathcal{N}=4$ super-Yang-Mills theory, obtaining new results at three, four, and five loops. Our construction employs known…
We study the structure of the normal matrix model (NMM). We show that all correlation functions of the model with axially symmetric potentials can be expressed in terms of holomorphic functions of one variable. This observation is used to…
The exact Foldy-Wouthuysen Hamiltonian is derived for a pointlike spin-1 particle with a normal magnetic moment in a nonuniform magnetic field. For a uniform magnetic field, it is exactly separated into terms linear and quadratic in spin.…
In this work, we employ a dispersion relation that allows to recover the electromagnetic form factor of the pion from its modulus along the unitarity cut. Unlike the standard dispersive approach, this method extends in a straightforward…
We compute the multiplicity of the irreducible representations in the decomposition of the tensor product of an arbitrary number $n$ of fundamental representations of $SU(N)$, and we identify a duality in the representation content of this…
The off-shell pion electromagnetic form factors are explored with corresponding off-shell light-front wave functions modeled by constituent quark and anti-quark. We apply the Mandelstam approach for the microscopic computation of the form…
In this research, we conduct a global QCD analysis of fragmentation functions (FFs) for neutral pions ($\pi^0$), neutral kaons ($K_S^0$), and eta mesons ($\eta$), utilizing world data of single inclusive hadron production in $e^+e^-$…
We present a fully extrinsic, parametrization-free variant of tensor calculus on embedded, possibly evolving, submanifolds with boundary in arbitrary dimension and codimension. The proposed approach is component-free and, for general rank…
