For high energy processes ($M\gg \Lambda_{QCD}$) there are infrared safe hadronic shape variables that have a calculable perturbative expansion in $\alpha_s(M^2)$. However, nonperturbative power suppressed corrections to these variables are…
In quantum mechanics and quantum field theory perturbation theory generically requires the inclusion of extra contributions non-perturbative in the coupling, such as instantons, to reproduce exact results. We show how full non-perturbative…
