We study the conformal window of QCD using perturbation theory, starting from the perturbative upper edge and going down as much as we can towards the strongly coupled regime. We do so by exploiting the available five-loop computation of…
We present a Borel resummation method for the QCD corrections in inclusive, charmless, semileptonic B meson decay. The renormalon contributions are resummed to all orders by employing a bilocal expansion of the Borel transform that…
We present a method to calculate the $x$--space expressions of massless or massive operator matrix elements in QCD and QED containing local composite operator insertions, depending on the discrete Mellin index $N$, directly, without…
Starting from the divergence pattern of perturbation expansions in Quantum Field Theory and the (assumed) asymptotic character of the series, we address the problem of ambiguity of a function determined by the perturbation expansion. We…
The conformal mapping of the Borel plane can be utilized for the analytic continuation of the Borel transform to the entire positive real semi-axis and is thus helpful in the resummation of divergent perturbation series in quantum field…
The conventional series in powers of the coupling in perturbative QCD have zero radius of convergence and fail to reproduce the singularity of the QCD correlators like the Adler function at $\alpha_s=0$. Using the technique of conformal…
In this paper we present results of computations for the ground energy of weakly coupled double well potential in quantum mechanics. We give a numerical evidence for cancelation of imaginary contributions to energy coming from Borel…
Making use of inverse Mellin transform techniques for analytical continuation, an elegant proof and an extension of the zeta function regularization theorem is obtained. No series commutations are involved in the procedure; nevertheless the…
We re-examine the estimates of the higher twist contributions to the integral of $g_1$, the polarised structure function of the nucleon, based on QCD sum rules. By including corrections both to the perturbative contribution and to the low…
Recently, we have developed a formalism to evaluate QCD loop diagrams with a single virtual gluon using a running coupling constant at the vertices. This corresponds to an all-order resummation of certain terms (the so-called renormalon…
In these lectures we give a concise introduction to the ideas of renormalon calculus in QED and QCD. We focus in particular on the example of the Adler D function of vacuum polarization, and on relations between perturbative renormalon…
We address the problem of ambiguity of a function determined by an asymptotic perturbation expansion. Using a modified form of the Watson lemma recently proved elsewhere, we discuss a large class of functions determined by the same…
The experimental data obtained for the polarized Bjorken sum rule \Gamma^{(p-n)}_1(Q^2) for small values of Q2 are approximated by the predictions obtained in the framework of analytic QCD up to the 5th order perturbation theory, whose…
The analytic continuation of the Mellin transforms to complex values of N for the basic functions $g_i(x)$ of the momentum fraction x emerging in the quantities of massless QED and QCD up to two-loop order, as the unpolarized and polarized…
We consider a class of $n^{\text{th}}$-order linear ordinary differential equations with a large parameter $u$. Analytic solutions of these equations can be described by (divergent) formal series in descending powers of $u$. We demonstrate…
Fractional analytic QCD is constructed beyond leading order using the standard inverse logarithmic expansion. It is shown that, contrary to the usual QCD coupling constant, for which this expansion can be used only for large values of its…
We explore the relation between resummation and explicit multi-loop calculations for QCD hard-scattering amplitudes. We describe how the factorization properties of amplitudes lead to the exponentiation of double and single poles at each…
The Brownian motion over the space of fluid velocity configurations driven by the hydrodynamical equations is considered. The Green function is computed in the form of an asymptotic series close to the standard diffusion kernel. The high…
Borel transformed QCD sum rules conventionally use a real valued parameter (the Borel mass) for specifying the exponential weight over which hadronic spectral functions are averaged. In this paper, it is shown that the Borel mass can be…
Perturbative expansions of QCD observables in powers of $\alpha_s$ are believed to be asymptotic and non-Borel summable due to the existence of singularities in the Borel plane (renormalons). This fact is connected with the factorization of…
