According to Lipatov, the high orders of perturbation theory are determined by saddle-point configurations (instantons) of the corresponding functional integrals. According to t'Hooft, some individual large diagrams, renormalons, are also…
The renormalization of softly broken SQED is related to the one of supersymmetric QED by using the construction with a local gauge supercoupling and by taking into account softly broken anomalous axial U(1) symmetry. From this extended…
We propose a self-consistency equation for the $\beta$-function for theories with a large number of flavours, $N$, that exploits all the available information in the Wilson-Fisher critical exponent, $\omega$, truncated at a fixed order in…
We investigate the nature of power corrections and infrared renormalon singularities in large $\beta_0$ approximation. We argue that the power correction associated with a renormalon pole singularity should appear at O(1), in contrast to…
We compute the one-loop \beta-functions describing the renormalisation of the coupling constant \lambda and the frequency parameter \Omega for the real four-dimensional duality-covariant noncommutative \phi^4-model, which is renormalisable…
Precise extractions of $\alpha_s$ from $\tau\to {\rm (hadrons)}+\nu_\tau$ and from $e^+e^-\to {\rm (hadrons)}$ below the charm threshold rely on finite energy sum rules (FESRs) where the experimental side is given by integrated spectral…
We use the "conspiracy" between infrared (IR) renormalons and condensates in the operator product expansion for correlation functions to make predictions concerning the structure of singularities in the Borel plane for the perturbative…
We explicitly determine the residues and orders of all the ultra-violet (UV) and infra-red (IR) renormalon poles in the Borel plane for the QCD vacuum polarization function (Adler D-function), to leading order in an expansion in the number…
It is shown that the commonly accepted relationship between the Landau singularity in the running coupling constant of QED or QCD and the renormalon singularities in the Borel sums of perturbation theory expansions is only a particular…
In this thesis we explore the physics of renormalons in integrable models under the framework of resurgence. In the first part, we review some background on resurgence, integrability and renormalons, including a discussion of large N…
Renormalization group (RG) and resummation techniques have been used in $N$-component $\phi^4$ theories at fixed dimensions below four to determine the presence of non-trivial IR fixed points and to compute the associated critical…
Let $\Gamma$ be a smooth curve or finite disjoint union of smooth curves in the plane and $\Lambda$ be any subset of the plane. Let $\mathcal X(\Gamma)$ be the space of all finite complex-valued Borel measures in the plane which are…
The possibility is discussed that existence of renormalon singularities is not the internal property of the specific field theory but depends on the renormalization scheme.
According to standard lore, perturbative series of super-renormalizable theories have only instanton singularities. In this paper we show that two-dimensional scalar theories with a spontaneously broken $O(N)$ symmetry at the classical…
We discuss the analytic properties of the Callan-Symanzik beta-function beta(g) associated with the zero-momentum four-point coupling g in the two-dimensional phi^4 model with O(N) symmetry. Using renormalization-group arguments, we derive…
We study the following quasilinear elliptic equation $$ -\Delta_p u + (\beta\Phi(x)-a(x)) u^{p-1} + b(x)g(u)=0 \quad \text{in } \mathbb{R}^N \quad \quad \quad (P_\beta) $$ where $p>1$, $\Phi \in L^\infty_{loc}(\mathbb{R}^N)$, $a,b \in…
The $O(d,d)$ invariant worldsheet theory for bosonic string theory with $d$ abelian isometries is employed to compute the beta functions and Weyl anomaly at one-loop. We show that vanishing of the Weyl anomaly coefficients implies the…
The RG functions of the 2D $n$-vector $\phi^4$ model are calculated in the five-loop approximation. Perturbative series for the $\beta$ function and critical exponents are resummed by the Pade-Borel and Pade-Borel-Leroy techniques,…
We find the explicit operatorial form of renormalon-type singularities in abelian gauge theory. Local operators of dimension six take care of the first U.V. renormalon, non local operators are needed for I.R. singularities. In the effective…
We study the free energy of integrable, asymptotically free field theories in two dimensions coupled to a conserved charge. We develop methods to obtain analytic expressions for its trans-series expansion, directly from the Bethe ansatz…
