Despite the success of quantum field theories, the origin of the mass of elementary particles persists. The renormalization program is an essential part of the calculation of the scattering amplitudes, where the infinities of the calculated…
We investigate the $u=1/2$ [$\mathcal{O}(\Lambda_{\rm QCD})$] and $u=3/2$ [$\mathcal{O}(\Lambda_{\rm QCD}^3)$] renormalons in the static QCD potential in position space and momentum space using the OPE of the potential-NRQCD effective field…
Relation between the infrared renormalons, the Borel resummation prescriptions, and the analyticity structure of Green functions in perturbative QCD (pQCD) is investigated. A specific recently suggested Borel resummation prescription…
There are two sources of the factorial large-order behavior of a typical perturbative series. First, the number of the different Feynman diagrams may be large; second, there are abnormally large diagrams known as renormalons. It is well…
The quark form factor is known to exponentiate within the framework of dimensionally regularized perturbative QCD. The logarithm of the form factor is expressed in terms of integrals over the scale of the running coupling. I show that these…
We consider the Laplacian in $\mathbb{R}^n$ perturbed by a finite number of distant perturbations those are abstract localized operators. We study the asymptotic behaviour of the discrete spectrum as the distances between perturbations tend…
Heavy quark potential in the continuum theory at finite temperature is calculated in different phases by using the Polyakov loop as the order parameter. We find the linearly rising potential in the confinement phase, the Debye screened…
Results of perturbation theory in quantum field theory generally depend on the renormalization scheme that is in use. In particular, they depend on the scale. We try to make perturbation theory scheme invariant by re-expanding with respect…
Numerous aspects and mechanisms of color confinement in QCD are surveyed. After a gauge-invariant definition of order parameters, the phenomenon is formulated in the language of field correlators, to select a particular correlator…
We study the infrared renormalon in the gluon condensate in the $SU(N)$ gauge theory with $n_W$-flavor adjoint Weyl fermions (QCD(adj.)) on~$\mathbb{R}^3\times S^1$ with the $\mathbb{Z}_N$ twisted boundary conditions. We rely on the…
Quantum anomalies in the inverse square potential are well known and widely investigated. Most prominent is the unbounded increase in oscillations of the particle's state as it approaches the origin when the attractive coupling parameter is…
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…
This letter is about confinement in QCD. At the moment we have pictures of confinement to complete our understanding of the physics of strongly interacting particles, interaction which asks for confinement. As it is said in [1] : " In…
We start with the QCD sum rules which are originally based on the idea that it is the power-like corrections to the parton model which are related to the confinement. The naive use of the Operator Product Expansion ensures that there is a…
The renormalization is investigated of one-loop quantum fluctuations around a constrained instanton in $\phi ^4$-theory with negative coupling. It is found that the constraint should be renormalized also. This indicates that in general only…
High-precision knowledge of electromagnetic form factors of nuclei is a subject of much current experimental and theoretical activity in nuclear and atomic physics. Such precision mandates that effects of the non-zero spatial extent of the…
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.
I propose to reformulate the gauge field theory as the perturbative deformation of a novel topological quantum field theory. It is shown that this reformulation leads to quark confinement in QCD$_4$. Similarly, the fractional charge…
Employing the heavy quark pole mass and static potential that were obtained from resummation of the renormalon-caused large order behavior to all orders, and matching the resummed static potential to the long distance Cornell potential we…
The difference between fixed-order (FO) and contour-improved (CI) formulations of QCD perturbation theory limits the precision of the strong coupling determined from the hadronic decay of the $\tau$ lepton. Recently, several attempts to…
