Methods described in the literature for the computation of the QCD running coupling are essentially all defined with respect to the renormalization group equations and these equations are associated with the method of renormalization for…
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,…
A method of evaluation of spacelike QCD observables ${\cal D}(Q^2)$ is presented, motivated by the renormalon structure of these quantities.
In this paper we encode the perturbative BFKL leading logarithmic resummation, relevant for the Regge limit behavior of QCD scattering amplitudes, in the IR-regulated effective action which satisfies exact functional renormalization group…
Using the Balitsky-Kovchegov (BK) equation as an explicit example, we show that nonlinear QCD evolution leads to an instability in the propagation toward the infrared of the gluon transverse momentum distribution, if one starts with a state…
In the naive form of most resummations we get into conflict with order-by-order renormalization. We present a method that is capable to ensure UV consistency of any resummations satisfying certain conditions. The method is based on the…
We study the large-order asymptotic behavior of the perturbation series for short-distance coefficients in the NRQCD factorization formulas for the decays J/psi --> e^+e^- and eta_c --> gamma gamma. The short-distance coefficients of the…
The calculation of perturbative corrections to the spectral moments observable in hadronic $\tau$ decays is reconsidered. The exact order-$\alpha_s^3$ results and the resummation procedure of Le~Diberder and Pich are compared with a partial…
A perturbation scheme is discussed for the computation of the normalization constant of the large order behavior arising from an ultraviolet renormalon. In this scheme the normalization constant is expressed in a convergent series that can…
We investigate the renormalon ambiguity from bubble-chain diagrams in the isovector unpolarized quasi-parton distribution function (PDF) of a hadron. We confirm the assertion by Braun, Vladimirov and Zhang (arXiv:1810.00048) that the…
We discuss the Wilson renormalization group approach to the effective action for low $x$ physics. It is shown that in the linearized, weak field regime the RG equation reduces to the BFKL equation for the evolution of the unintegrated gluon…
We introduce a more general set of kinematic renormalization schemes than the original momentum (MOM) subtraction schemes of Celmaster and Gonsalves. These new schemes will depend on a parameter $\omega$ which tags the external momentum of…
We examine, in the `t Hooft renormalization scheme, the analytic running coupling $\bar\alpha_t(Q^2)$ in QCD, using the two-loop $\beta$-function with positive expansion parameters $\beta_0$ and $\beta_1$. An exact integral representation…
We calculate, within massless QCD, a two-point correlator of nonlocal (composite) vector quark currents with arbitrary-length chains of the simplest fermion loops being inserted into gluon lines. Within the large $n_f$ (or large $\beta_0$)…
For precise QCD prediction of observables, the ambiguity due to renormalons in perturbative calculations should be appropriately separated from Wilson coefficients in the framework of the operator-product-expansion. Recently, a new method…
Abandoning dimensional regularization allows important simplifications in loop calculations and gives a handle to interpret non-renormalizable Quantum Field Theories. I review the current status of FDR, a fully four-dimensional approach to…
The relation between the two approaches is discussed both in the linear and nonlinear regimes. It is connected to the gauge invariance and Moebius symmetry in LL perturbative QCD. First corrections beyond the large N approximation are…
We recapitulate the method which resums the truncated perturbation series of a physical observable in a way which takes into account the structure of the leading infrared renormalon. We apply the method to the Gross-Llewellyn Smith (GLS)…
We investigate the evolution of parton densities at small values of the momentum fraction, x, by including resummed anomalous dimensions in the renormalization group equations. The resummation takes into account the leading-logarithmic…
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…
