A new technique based on H\"older's integral inequality is applied to QCD sum-rules to provide fundamental constraints on the sum-rule parameters. These constraints must be satisfied if the sum-rules are to consistently describe integrated…

We discuss non-perturbative QCD contributions to jet observables, computing their dependence on the jet radius R, and on the colour and transverse momentum of the parton initiating the jet. We show, using analytic QCD models of power…
I survey recent developments in hadron physics which follow from the application of superconformal quantum mechanics and light-front holography. This includes new insights into the physics of color confinement, chiral symmetry, the…
Instanton-induced deep-inelastic processes are considered. Unlike previous results we calculate nonzero quark modes contribution.
We study the perturbative QCD series for the hadronic width of the Z boson. We sum a class of large ``pi^2 terms'' and reorganize the series so as to minimize ``renormalon'' effects. We also consider the renormalization scheme-scale…
Hypercontractive inequalities are a useful tool in dealing with extremal questions in the geometry of high-dimensional discrete and continuous spaces. In this survey we trace a few connections between different manifestations of…
We give a brief review of the current understanding of renormalons of the static QCD potential in coordinate and momentum spaces. We also reconsider estimate of the normalization constant of the $u=3/2$ renormalon and propose a new way to…

A renormalization scheme is suggested where QCD input parameters - quark mass and coupling constant - are expressed in terms of gauge invariant and infrared stable quantities. For the renormalization of coupling constant the quark anomalous…
We estimate the effects of non-perturbative physics on the differential distributions of infrared- and collinear-safe $e^+e^-$ event shape variables, by extending the notion of an infrared-regular effective strong coupling, which accounts…

A formula for the two-loop infrared singularities of dimensionally regularized QCD scattering amplitudes with an arbitrary number of massive and massless legs is derived. The singularities are obtained from the solution of a…

There exist certain intrinsic relations between the ultraviolet divergent graphs and the convergent ones at the same loop order in renormalizable quantum field theories. Whereupon we may establish a new method, the intrinsic regularization…
A systematic method is proposed for analyzing the renormalization scheme uncertainties in the next-next-to-leading order QCD predicitions, based on a condition which eliminates schemes that give rise to large cancellations in the expression…
