Infrared renormalons and $1/Q^2$ power corrections in deep-inelastic sum rules are studied. The renormalization of operators with power divergence are discussed. The higher-twist terms in the operator product expansion are shown to account…
The issue of consistent power counting in baryon chiral perturbation theory is revisited.
Modifications of the QCD perturbative expansions by the subtraction of the dominant infrared renormalon have been proposed recently as attempts to solve the long-standing discrepancy between fixed-order and contour-improved perturbation…
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…
Because of the infrared renormalons, it is difficult to get power accuracy in the traditional approach to the Wilson's operator product expansion. Based on a new perturbative renormalization scheme for power-divergent operators, I propose a…
This paper introduces a formal notion of fixed point explanations, inspired by the "why regress" principle, to assess, through recursive applications, the stability of the interplay between a model and its explainer. Fixed point…
The use of the equations of motion and meson field redefinitions allows the simplification of the subleading operators required in the one-loop resonance chiral theory calculation of the pi pi vector form-factor. The study of the…
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…
Lattice data seems to show that power corrections should be convoked to describe appropriately the transition of the QCD coupling constant running from U.V. to I.R. domains. Those power corrections for the Landau-gauge MOM coupling constant…
We measure the renormalized coupling in the Twisted Polyakov loop scheme for SU(3) gauge theory coupled with $N_f=12$ fundamental fermions. To find the infrared fixed point of this theory, we focus on the step scaling function for the…
We study the power corrections (infrared renormalon contributions) to the coefficient functions for non-singlet deep inelastic structure functions due to gluon vacuum polarization insertions in one-loop graphs. Remarkably, for all the…
We argue that the appearance of the Landau pole in the running coupling of QCD introduces 1/Q^2 power corrections in current correlation functions. These terms are not accounted for by the standard operator product expansion and is the…
I give a short review of the relation of infrared renormalons in QCD and higher twist effects, with the emphasis on possible applications. In particular, I present estimates of renormalon-induced uncertainties in deep inelastic sum rules…
I perform a further study regarding a renormalization-group (RG) issue -- which concerns a wide variety of the so-called perturbative power counting under effective field theories (EFT) -- as pointed out by A. M. Gasparyan and E. Epelbaum…
In the dispersive approach of Dokshitzer, Marchesini and Webber, standard power-behaved contributions of infrared origin are described with the notion of an infrared regular QCD coupling. I argue that their framework suggests the existence…
We use an abelian model to study linear power corrections which arise from infrared renormalons and affect event shapes in $e^+e^-$ annihilation into hadrons. While previous studies explored power corrections in the two-jet region, in this…
This talk discusses the power behaved corrections to fragmentation functions for the current jet in non-singlet deep inelastic scattering. These corrections are estimated by means of a renormalon model using a dispersive approach. The…
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…
A recently proposed normalization condition for the imaginary part of the self-energy of an unstable particle is shown to lead to a closed expression for the field renormalization constant Z. In turn, the exact expression for Z is…
Threshold resummation for factorizable cross sections in hadron-hadron collisions has a number of applications and extensions. We discuss factorization scale dependence, resummation at nonleading power in the moment variable, and the…
