We describe the development of Analytic Perturbation Theory (APT) in QCD, called Fractional APT (FAPT), which has been suggested to apply the renormalization group evolution and QCD factorization technique in the framework of APT.
The connection between ghost-free formulations of RG-invariant perturbation theory in the both Euclidean and Minkowskian regions is studied. Our basic tool is the "double spectral representation", similar to definition of Adler function,…
The paper is devoted to application of recently devised ghost-free Analytic Perturbation Theory (APT) for analysis of some QCD observables. We start with the discussion of the main problem of the perturbative QCD -- ghost singularities and…
Technical aspects of the Shirkov-Solovtsov's analytic perturbation theory (APT) are considered. We construct explicitly two sets of specific functions, ${\mathfrak{A}_n(s)}$ and ${{\cal A}_n(Q^2)}$ that determine the nonpower as ymptotic…
Within the ghost-free Analytic Perturbation Theory (APT), devised in the last decade for low energy QCD, simple approximations are proposed for 3-loop analytic couplings and their effective powers, in both the space-like (Euclidean) and…

We give a short introduction to the Analytic Perturbation Theory (APT) in QCD, describe its problems and suggest as a tool for their resolution the Fractional APT (FAPT). We also describe shortly how to treat heavy-quark thresholds in FAPT.…
We work out and discuss the Minkowski version of Fractional Analytic Perturbation Theory (FAPT) for QCD observables, recently developed and presented by us for the Euclidean region. The original analytic approach to QCD, initiated by…
We describe the generalization of Analytic Perturbation Theory (APT) for QCD observables, initiated by Radyushkin, Krasnikov, Pivovarov, Shirkov and Solovtsov, to fractional powers of coupling -- Fractional APT (FAPT). The basic aspects of…
We provide a Mathematica package that evaluates the QCD analytic couplings (in the Euclidean domain) $\mathcal{A}_{\nu}(Q^2)$, which are analytic analogs of the powers $a(Q^2)^{\nu}$ of the underlying perturbative QCD (pQCD) coupling…
A pattern of partial resummation of perturbation theory series inspired by analytical continuation is discussed for some physical observables.
Perturbation theory (PT) might be one of the most powerful and fruitful tools for both physicists and chemists, which evoked an explosion of applications with the blooming of atomic and subatomic physics. Even though PT is well-used today,…
The subject of the first section-lecture is concerned with the strength and the weakness of the perturbation theory (PT) approach, that is expansion in powers of a small parameter $\alpha$, in Quantum Theory. We start with outlining a…
A comprehensive review is presented of the progress made in further developing the ghost-free Analytic Approach to low-energy QCD since "QCD-97" meeting. It is now formulated as a logically closed ``Analytic Perturbation Theory" algorithm.…
I survey some recent advances in the applications of the analytical perturbative approach to the description of particle distributions in multi-jet processes. New tests of the perturbatively based picture in the (semi) soft region are…
The renormalization group applied to perturbation theory is ordinarily used to define the running coupling constant in the spacelike region. However, to describe processes with timelike momenta transfers, it is important to have a…

A technique called analytic perturbation theory, which respects the required analytic properties, consistent with causality, is applied to the definition of the running coupling in the timelike region, to the description of inclusive…
We provide three Fortran programs which evaluate the QCD analytic (holomorphic) couplings $\mathcal{A}_{\nu}(Q^2)$ for complex or real squared momenta $Q^2$. These couplings are holomorphic analogs of the powers $a(Q^2)^{\nu}$ of the…
