The construction of heavy quark effective field theory (HqEFT) is extended to arbitrary order in both expansion parameters $\alpha_s$ and $1/m_q$. Matching conditions are discussed for the general case, and it is verified that this approach…
We examine recent claims that nonperturbative effects can prevent the decoupling of a heavy fermion whose mass arises from a Yukawa coupling to a scalar field. We show that in weakly coupled, four dimensional models such as the standard…
In integrable field theories in two dimensions, the Bethe ansatz can be used to compute exactly the ground state energy in the presence of an external field coupled to a conserved charge. We generalize previous results by Volin and we…
We investigate the behaviour of the perturbative relation between the photon energy spectrum in B -> Xs gamma and the hadronic P+ spectrum in semileptonic B -> Xu l nu decay at high orders in perturbation theory in the "large-beta_0" limit,…
The leading beta_0^(n-1) alpha_s^n terms in the Wilson coefficient and anomalous dimension of the chromomagnetic operator in the heavy-quark effective Lagrangian are summed to all orders of perturbation theory. The perturbation series for…
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…
We show that the direction of renormalization in effective field theory is constrained by fundamental principles in the infrared$\unicode{x2014}$unitarity, analyticity, and Lorentz invariance. Our theorem, in the spirit of the $a$-theorem…
The divergent large-order behaviour of the perturbative series relevant for the determination of $\as$ from $\tau$ decay is controlled by the leading ultraviolet (UV) renormalon. Even in the absence of the first infrared (IR) renormalon, an…
The process of renormalization to eliminate divergences arising in quantum field theory is not uniquely defined; one can always perform a finite renormalization, rendering finite perturbative results ambiguous. The consequences of making…
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…
Coherent state approach has been proposed as an alternate way to deal with the true infrared divergences in light front field theory. We show that infrared divergences in fermion mass renormalization are eliminated to all orders in light…
We describe some ways how higher order corrections can reveal themselves if integrated over the infrared region. We show that in different renormalization group (RG) schemes and for some observables one has no factorial divergences. We…
We consider the infrared and ultraviolet behaviour of the effective quantum field theory of a single $Z_2$ symmetric scalar field. In a previous paper we proved to all orders in perturbation theory the renormalizability of massive effective…
When an asymptotically non-free theory possesses a mass parameter, the ultraviolet (UV) renormalon gives rise to non-perturbative contributions to dimension-four operators and dimensionless couplings, thus has a similar effect as the…
Perturbative expansions in many physical systems yield 'only' asymptotic series which are not even Borel resummable. Interestingly, the corresponding ambiguities point to nonperturbative physics. We numerically verify this renormalon…
The renormalon singularities are a known source of the divergent behavior of asymptotic perturbative series from field theoretical models. These singularities live in the Borel plane and are responsible for ambiguities in the physical…
In the large-momentum effective field theory approach to parton physics, the matrix elements of non-local operators of quark and gluon fields, linked by straight Wilson lines in a spatial direction, are calculated in lattice quantum…
We develop the idea that renormalization, decoupling of heavy particle effects from low energy physics and the construction of effective field theories are intimately linked to the momentum space entanglement of disparate modes of an…
We study the properties of ultraviolet renormalons in the vectorial $(\vec{\phi}^{2})^{2}$ model. This is achieved by studying the effective potential of the theory at next to leading order of the $1/N$ expansion, the appearence ofthe…
We present a formulation to give renormalon-free predictions consistently with fixed order perturbative results. The formulation has a similarity to Lee's method in that the renormalon-free part consists of two parts: one is given by a…
