We review the physics of the power corrections to the parton model. In the first part, we consider the power corrections which characterize the infrared sensitivity of Feynman graphs when the contribution of short distances dominates. The…
Power corrections in QCD (both conventional and unconventional ones arising from the ultraviolet region) are discussed within the infrared finite coupling-dispersive approach. It is shown how power corrections in Minkowskian quantities can…
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…
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…
Power-suppressed corrections coming from the end-point integration regions in the amplitude of the process $\gamma^{*}\gamma \to \pi \pi$ at large $Q^2$ and small squared center-of-mass energy $W^2$ are calculated in the QCD hard-scattering…
Standard power-behaved contributions in QCD arising from non-perturbative effects at low scale can be described, as shown by Dokshitzer, Marchesini and Webber, with the notion of an infrared regular effective coupling. In their approach, a…
A simple parametrization of the QCD running coupling at low scales is introduced and used to illustrate various schemes for the estimation of non-perturbative power corrections. The `infrared matching' scheme proposed earlier gives…
The connection between renormalons and power corrections is discussed in the case the effective coupling constant has an infrared fixed point of perturbative origin.
Even for short-distance dominated observables the QCD perturbation expansion is never complete. The divergence of the expansion through infrared renormalons provides formal evidence of this fact. In this article we review how this apparent…
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.
Power corrections to hadronic event shapes are estimated using a recently suggested relationship between perturbative and non-perturbative effects in QCD. The infrared cutoff dependence of perturbative calculations is related to…
We discuss $1/Q$ corrections to hard processes in QCD where $Q$ is a large mass parameter like the total energy in $e^+e^-$ annihilation. The main problem we address ourselves to is whether these corrections to different processes…
The connection between renormalons and power corrections is investigated for the typical infrared renormalon integral assuming the effective coupling constant has an infrared fixed point of an entirely perturbative origin. It is shown the…

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…
For the kinetic energy of 1d model finite systems the leading corrections to local approximations as a functional of the potential are derived using semiclassical methods. The corrections are simple, non-local functionals of the potential.…
Perturbative expansions for short-distance quantities in QCD are factorially divergent and this deficiency can be turned into a useful tool to investigate nonperturbative corrections. In this work, we use this approach to study the…
As quantum optical phenomena are based on Maxwell's equations, and it is becoming important to understand quantum optical phenomena at short distances, so it is important to analyze quantum optics using short distance corrected Maxwell's…
In this paper, we will analyze the short distance corrections to low energy scattering. They are produced because of an intrinsic extended structure of the background geometry of spacetime. It will be observed that the deformation produced…
I argue that the leading quantum corrections, in powers of the energy or inverse powers of the distance, may be computed in quantum gravity through knowledge of only the low energy structure of the theory. As an example, I calculate the…
