We overview the issue of the power corrections to the parton model, mostly within the context of QCD sum rules. There are a few sources of the power corrections responsible for various qualitative effects. The basic idea that the power…
We identify and evaluate a class of physical amplitudes in four-dimensional N=4 superstring theory, which receive, in the weak coupling limit, contributions of order e^{-1/\lambda}, where \lambda is the type II superstring coupling…
We discuss power corrections to infrared safe cross sections and event shapes, and identify a nonperturbative function that governs 1/Q corrections to these quantities.
We consider a phenomenologycal parametrization of the QCD running coupling which arises from the dispersion relation respecting the holomorphic properties of the physical QCD observables in the complex momentum plane. The parameters are…
We present an analysis of the role of the running coupling constant at the intersection of perturbative and nonperturbative QCD. Although the approaches that have been considered so far in these two regimes appear to be complementary to…
We fix exactly and uniquely the infrared structure of the full gluon propagator in QCD, not solving explicitly the corresponding dynamical equation of motion. By construction, this structure is an infinite sum over all possible severe…
In quantum mechanics and quantum field theory perturbation theory generically requires the inclusion of extra contributions non-perturbative in the coupling, such as instantons, to reproduce exact results. We show how full non-perturbative…
In gauge theories, charged particles obey modified dispersion due to medium interactions (forward scattering), leading at high energies $E \geq T$ to an asymptotic mass-squared $m^2_\infty$. We calculate the infrared part of this mass…

The QCD analytic running coupling alpha_{an} which has no nonphysical singularities for all Q^2>0 is considered for the initial perturbation theory approximations up to four loop order. The finiteness of the analytic coupling at zero is…
We consider non-perturbative effects at short distances in theories with confinement. The analysis is straightforward within the Abelian models in which the confinement arises on classical level. In all cases considered (compact U(1) in 3D…
Quantum electrodynamics (QED) in a strong constant magnetic field is investigated from the viewpoint of its connection with noncommutative QED. It turns out that within the lowest Landau level (LLL) approximation the 1-loop contribution of…
Methods described in the literature for the computation of the QCD running coupling are essentially all defined with respect to the renormalization group equations and these equations are associated with the method of renormalization for…
Apparently convergent contributions of resummed perturbative series at the next-to-leading order of the 1/N expansion in the O(N) model are reanalyzed in terms of renormalizability. Compared to our earlier article [G. Fejos et al., Phys.…
The problem of improving the reliability of perturbative QCD predictions at moderate energies is considered. These predictions suffer from substantial renormalization scheme dependence, which is illustrated using as an example the QCD…
MSbar-like schemes in QCD have in general the running coupling which contains Landau singularities, i.e., singularities outside the timelike semi-axis, at low squared momenta. As a consequence, evaluation of the spacelike quantities, such…
We consider the scattering of two color dipoles (e.g., heavy quarkonium states) at low energy - a QCD analog of Van der Waals interaction. Even though the couplings of the dipoles to the gluon field can be described in perturbation theory,…
The summary of nonperturbative results for the QCD invariant coupling bar{alpha}_s obtained by lattice simulations for functional integral and by solution of approximate Dyson--Schwinger equations reveals a puzzling variety of IR behavior…
