Methods of Borel integration to calculate the binding ground energies and mass of b-barb quarkonia are presented. The methods take into account the leading infrared renormalon structure of the "soft" binding energy E(s) and of the quark…
We show that the Borel resummed perturbative static potential at N_f=0 converges well, and is in a remarkable agreement with the quenched lattice calculation at distances 1/r > 660 MeV. This shows that Borel resummation is very good at…
We use various methods of Borel integration to calculate the binding ground energies and masses of b-bbar and t-tbar quarkonia. The methods take into account the leading infrared renormalon structure of the hard+soft part of the binding…
Recently, it has been shown that the concept of the pole mass of a heavy quark becomes ambiguous beyond perturbation theory, because of the presence of infrared renormalons. We argue that the predictions of heavy quark effective theory,…
We propose a non-perturbative method for defining the higher dimensional operators which appear in the Heavy Quark Effective Theory (HQET), such that their matrix elements are free of renormalon singularities, and diverge at most…
We investigate the high-order behavior of perturbative matching conditions in effective field theories. These series are typically badly divergent, and are not Borel summable due to infrared and ultraviolet renormalons which introduce…
The heavy quark pole mass in perturbation theory suffers from a renormalon caused, inherent uncertainty of $O(\Lambda_{\rm QCD})$. This fundamental difficulty of determining the pole mass to an accuracy better than the inherent uncertainty…
I review the structure of the leading infrared renormalon divergence of the relation between the pole mass and the $\overline{\rm MS}$ mass of a heavy quark, with applications to the top, bottom and charm quark. That the pole quark mass…
The calculation of higher twist (or dimension) corrections to physical quantities using operator product expansions is delicate. If dimensional regularization is used to regulate the ultra-violet divergences then there are ambiguities in…
We discuss the concepts and the framework of the renormalization procedure in regularization-invariant momentum subtraction schemes. These schemes are used in the context of lattice simulations for the determination of physical quantities…
We present a method of calculating the bottonium mass M[Upsilon(1S)] = [2 mb + E(b barb)]. The binding energy is separated into the soft and ultrasoft components E(b barb)=[E(s)+E(us)] by requiring the reproduction of the correct residue…
The key quantity of the heavy quark theory is the quark mass $m_Q$. Since quarks are unobservable one can suggest different definitions of $m_Q$. One of the most popular choices is the pole quark mass routinely used in perturbative…
We determine masses of light quarks ($m_u$,$m_d$,$m_s$) using Borel-Laplace sum rules and renormalization group summed perturbation theory (RGSPT) from the divergence of the axial vector current. The RGSPT significantly reduces the scale…
The bilocal expansion of Borel transform provides an efficient way of Borel resummation with low order perturbations in QCD. Its applications to the heavy quark pole mass, static potential, and lattice calculation are reviewed.
The connection between renormalons and power corrections is investigated for the typical infrared renormalon integral assuming the effective coupling constant has an infrared fixed point of an entirely perturbative origin. It is shown the…
Perturbative expansions of QCD observables in powers of $\alpha_s$ are believed to be asymptotic and non-Borel summable due to the existence of singularities in the Borel plane (renormalons). This fact is connected with the factorization of…
The relation between the pole quark mass and the $\overline{MS}$-renormalized mass is governed by an infrared renormalon singularity, which leads to an ambiguity of order $\Lambda_{QCD}$ in the definition of the pole mass. We use the…
The spin-averaged binding energy and the hyperfine mass splitting of heavy-light mesons are investigated within the constituent quark model as a function of the inverse heavy-quark mass. It is shown that the so-called heavy-quark kinetic…
We present the first lattice calculation of the B-meson binding energy $\labar$ and of the kinetic energy $\lambda_1/2 m_Q$ of the heavy-quark inside the pseudoscalar B-meson. In order to cancel the ambiguities due to the ultraviolet…
Perturbative series of some quantities in quantum field theories, such as the pole mass of a quark, suffer from a kind of divergence called renormalon divergence. In this paper, the leading renormalon in the pole mass is investigated, and a…
