We consider a time-varying first-order autoregressive model with irregular innovations, where we assume that the coefficient function is H\"{o}lder continuous. To estimate this function, we use a quasi-maximum likelihood based approach. A…

To improve accuracy in calculating QCD effects, we propose a method for renormalon subtraction in the context of the operator-product expansion. The method enables subtracting renormalons of various powers in $\Lambda_{\rm QCD}$ efficiently…
This paper deals with classical solutions of the modified chiral model on $R^{2+1}$. Such solutions are shown to correspond to products of various factor which we call time-dependent unitons. Then the problem of solving the system of…
We calculate the perturbative $T$-odd contributions to the lepton angular distribution in the Drell-Yan process. Using collinear factorization, we work at the first order in QCD perturbation theory where these contributions appear, ${\cal…

Mellin moments of off-forward distribution functions are, at t = 0, even polynomials of the skewedness parameter xi. It is proven that the unpolarized off-forward distribution functions in the chiral quark soliton model satisfy this so…
We calculate the hadronic matrix elements to $O(p^4)$ in the chiral expansion for the ($\Delta S =1$) $K^0 \to 2 \pi$ decays and the ($\Delta S=2$) $\bar K^0$-$K^0$ oscillation. This is done within the framework of the chiral quark model.…

We study the power corrections to Transverse Momentum Distributions (TMDs) by analyzing renormalon divergences of the perturbative series. The renomalon divergences arise independently in two constituents of TMDs: the rapidity evolution…

We investigate the nature of power corrections and infrared renormalon singularities in large $\beta_0$ approximation. We argue that the power correction associated with a renormalon pole singularity should appear at O(1), in contrast to…
