The renormalization-scheme and scale dependence of the truncated QCD perturbative expansions is one of the main sources of theoretical error of the standard model predictions, especially at intermediate energies. Recently, a class of…
We derive a compact expression for the Borel sum of a QCD amplitude in terms of the inverse Mellin transform of the corresponding Borel function. The result allows us to investigate the momentum-plane analyticity properties of the…
Recently, we have developed a formalism to evaluate QCD loop diagrams with a single virtual gluon using a running coupling constant at the vertices. This corresponds to an all-order resummation of certain terms (the so-called renormalon…

We examine the QCD perturbation series at large orders, for different values of the 'large $\beta_0$ renormalization scale'. It is found that if we let this scale grow exponentially with the order, the divergent series can be turned into an…
We analyze the heavy quark bound state spectrum using an order-dependent conformal mapping to re-sum the perturbative expansion for current correlators. The procedure consists of two main steps. Firstly, the Borel plane structure of the…
We generalize the concept of Borel resummability and renormalons to a quantum field theory with an arbitrary number of fields and couplings, starting from the known notion based on the running coupling constants. An approach to identify the…
