We consider theories with fermionic degrees of freedom that have a fixed point of Wilson-Fisher type in non-integer dimension $d = 4-2\epsilon$. Due to the presence of evanescent operators, i.e., operators that vanish in integer dimensions,…

Evanescent operators are a special class of operators that vanish in four-dimensional spacetime but are non-zero in $d=4-2\epsilon$ dimensions. In this paper, we continue our systematic study of the evanescent operators in the pure…
Evanescent operators are a special class of operators that vanish classically in four-dimensional spacetime, while in general dimensions they are non-zero and are expected to have non-trivial physical effects at the quantum loop level in…
Renormalization of composite three-quark operators in dimensional regularization is complicated by the mixing of physical and unphysical (evanescent) operators. This mixing must be taken into account in a consistent subtraction scheme. In…
Starting from the QCD Schroedinger functional (SF), we define a family of renormalization schemes for two four-quark operators, which are, in the chiral limit, protected against mixing with other operators. With the appropriate flavour…
The precise measurement of the width difference \Delta\Gamma_s among the mass eigenstates of the B_s-\bar{B}_s system requires the calculation of the corresponding decay matrix to order \alpha_s/m_b. QCD corrections to power-suppressed…

We consider renormalization of four-fermion operators in the critical QED and $SU(N_c)$ version of Gross--Neveu--Yukawa model in non-integer dimensions. Since the number of mixing operators is infinite, the diagonalization of an anomalous…

A novel method to treat effects from evanescent operators in next-to-leading order (NLO) computations is introduced. The approach allows, besides further simplifications, to discard evanescent-to-physical mixing contributions in NLO…

The anomalous dimensions of four-quark operators $(\bar q_i q_j)_{V-A} (\bar q_k q_l)_{V-A}$ are calculated in the large $N_f$ limit. As expected, the result is a convergent series without renormalon ambiguities. Using the approximation of…

Essential to QCD applications of the operator product expansion, etc., is a knowledge of those operators that mix with gauge-invariant operators. A standard theorem asserts that the renormalization matrix is triangular: Gauge-invariant…
We perform a non-perturbative study of the scale-dependent renormalisation factors of a complete set of dimension-six four-fermion operators. The renormalisation-group (RG) running is determined in the continuum limit for a specific…

The renormalization of the scalar diquark operator and its anomalous dimension is calculated at two-loop order in QCD, enabling higher-order QCD studies of diquarks. As an application of our result, the two-loop diquark anomalous dimension…
