The energy range and quality of strong-interaction data from recent years demand the study of higher orders in perturbative QCD, and of nonperturbative effects. I discuss a selection of recent progress in the theory of QCD at high energy,…
The following topics in perturbative QCD are reviewed: recent theoretical progress in higher-order calculations; soft-gluon resummation for hard-scattering processes at large $E_T$ and high $x$; low-$x$ behaviour of structure functions and…
In this talk we summarize some recent developments in perturbative QCD and their application to particle physics phenomenology.
The past few years have seen remarkable progress in the theory and phenomenology of QCD, bringing perturbative and nonperturbative methods into closer contact with each other and with experiment.
This talk is the second part of the summary of the theory section at DIS'97. We demonstrated that theory of the "hard" processes, based on QCD, has achieved a better understanding of available experimental data during the past year. This…
Perturbative QCD has made significant progress over the last few decades. In the first part, we present an introductory overview of perturbative QCD as seen from a modern viewpoint. We explain the relation between purely perturbative…
A brief review of key recent developments and ongoing projects in perturbative QCD theory, with emphasis on conceptual advances that have the potential for impact on LHC studies. Topics covered include: twistors and new recursive…
I review recent progress in perturbative QCD on two fronts: extending next-to-next-to-leading order QCD corrections to a broader range of collider processes, and applying twistor-space methods (and related spinoffs) to computations of…
After reviewing basic facts about large-order behaviour of perturbation expansions in various fields of physics, I consider several alternatives to the Borel summation method and discuss their relevance to different physical situations.…
Recent developments of perturbation theory at finite temperature based on effective field theory methods are reviewed. These methods allow the contributions from the different scales to be separated and the perturbative series to be…
A brief overview of some recently active topics in perturbative QCD, including: string-inspired recursion techniques at tree level; recursion approaches and automation of standard techniques for 1-loop calculations; the status of NNLO jet…
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…
Infrared divergences in the perturbative expansion of gauge theory amplitudes and cross sections have been a focus of theoretical investigations for almost a century. New insights still continue to emerge, as higher perturbative orders are…

We review selected recent theoretical activity in perturbative QCD. We focus on progress in the description of parton densities, including latest developments in neural network parton densities, on the description of high multiplicity final…
This talk reviews some recent trends in perturbative quantum chromodynamics, with emphasis on higher orders in perturbation theory, resummation and power corrections.
In addition to the evaluation of high-order loop contributions, the precision and predictive power of perturbative QCD (pQCD) predictions depends on two important issues: (1) how to achieve a reliable, convergent fixed-order series, and (2)…
We argue that the choice of an appropriate, massive, renormalization scheme can greatly improve the apparent convergence of perturbation theory at finite temperature. This is illustrated by the calculation of the pressure of a scalar field…
Infrared safe differential cross sections, such as event shape distributions, can be measured over wide kinematic ranges, from regions where fixed order calculations are adequate to regions where nonperturbative dynamics dominate. Such…
We discuss some problems concerning the application of perturbative QCD to high energy processes. In particular for hard processes, we analyze higher order and higher twist corrections. It is argued that these effects are of great…
