We accomplish for the first time the next-to-leading-order QCD computations of the leading-twist contributions to the Dirac form factors of both the proton and the neutron by applying the hard-collinear factorization theorem rigorously. The…
We introduce the notion of $k$-regular factorizations for contractions into $k$ factors, generalizing the classical notion of regular factorization due to Sz.-Nagy and Foia\c{s}, and develop a systematic framework for their analysis. Using…
We present an analytical framework for the emergence of nonclassical radiation in strongly laser-driven quantum systems, with a focus on high-order harmonic generation (HHG). Starting from a Pauli-Fierz description, we employ a parametric…
We propose a QCD-based model for calculation of the non-perturbative corrections to the factorization approximation in the decays of heavy mesons. In the framework of the model, factorization in pseudoscalar transitions holds exactly at the…

Factor modeling is a powerful statistical technique that permits to capture the common dynamics in a large panel of data with a few latent variables, or factors, thus alleviating the curse of dimensionality. Despite its popularity and…
We investigate the heavy quark photoproduction based on the k_T factorization approach, focusing on the results from the saturation model. The deviations in the results using the unintegrated gluon distribution considering the saturation…
Recently, there have been several suggestions that weak Kerr nonlinearity can be used for generation of macroscopic superpositions and entanglement and for linear optics quantum computation. However, it is not immediately clear that this…
We calculate the CP-averaged branching ratios and CP-violating asymmetries for the two-body charmless hadronic decays $\Lambda_b \to p \pi, pK$ in the perturbative QCD (pQCD) approach to lowest order in $\alpha_s$. The baryon distribution…
We consider electroweak radiative corrections to hard inclusive processes at the TeV scale, and we investigate how collinear logarithms factorize in a spontaneously broken gauge theory, similarly to the DGLAP analysis in QCD. Due to the…
I show that factorization for hard processes in QCD is also valid when the detected particles are polarized, and that the proof of the theorem determines the operator form for the parton densities. Particular attention is given to the case…
We predict that the effective nonlinear optical susceptibility can be tailored using the Purcell effect. While this is a general physical principle that applies to a wide variety of nonlinearities, we specifically investigate the Kerr…
Unitarity cannot be perserved order by order in ordinary perturbation theory because the constraint $UU^\dagger=\1$ is nonlinear. However, the corresponding constraint for $K=\ln U$, being $K=-K^\dagger$, is linear so it can be maintained…
We prove a factorization theorem for heavy-to-light form factors. Our result differs in several important ways from previous proposals. A proper separation of scales gives hard kernels that are free of endpoint singularities. A general…
