We present calculations of structure functions using a renormalization scheme consistent expansion which is leading order in both ln(1/x) and \alpha_s(Q^2). There is no factorization scheme dependence, and the ``physical anomalous…
We show how conformal invariance predicts the functional form of two-point correlators in one-dimensional periodic quantum systems. Numerical evidence for this functional form in a wide class of models --- including long-ranged ones --- is…

The question of the uniqueness of the Brodsky--Lepage--Mackenzie procedure for fixing the renormalization scale in perturbative QCD is discussed. It is shown that the resulting finite order approximants are as ambiguous as the original…
We show that the evolution equations in QCD predict geometric scaling for quark and gluon distribution functions in a large kinematical window, which extends above the saturation scale up to momenta $Q^2$ of order $100 {\rm GeV}^2$. For…
Large language models (LLMs) are empowering decision-making in several applications, including tool or API usage and answering multiple-choice questions (MCQs). However, incorrect outputs pose significant risks in high-stakes domains like…
Theoretical predictions for B decay rates are rewritten in terms of the Upsilon meson mass instead of the b quark mass, using a modified perturbation expansion. The theoretical consistency is shown both at low and high orders. This method…
We argue that consistency of the combined heavy quark and chiral effective lagrangian requires the QCD scale which multiplies $1/M$ in the heavy quark expansion to be the chiral symmetry breaking scale, $\Lambda_{CSB}$, rather than the QCD…
We investigate the consistency requirements of the next-to leading BFKL equation with the renormalization group, with particular emphasis on running coupling effects and NL anomalous dimensions. We show that, despite some model dependence…
Conformal prediction is a theoretically grounded framework for constructing predictive intervals. We study conformal prediction with missing values in the covariates -- a setting that brings new challenges to uncertainty quantification. We…

Conformal prediction is a simple and powerful tool that can quantify uncertainty without any distributional assumptions. Many existing methods only address the average coverage guarantee, which is not ideal compared to the stronger…
In this paper, we clarify a serious misinterpretation and consequent misuse of the Principle of Maximum Conformality (PMC), which also can be served as a mini review of PMC. We emphasize that the purpose of the PMC is to achieve precise…
We discuss the QCD corrections to the large-$m_t$ electroweak contributions to $\Delta r$ and to the process $Z\to b \bar b$ as two of the most representative examples. This needs the construction of an effetive field theory below the top…
