We describe in some detail the derivation of a power counting formula for the soft-collinear effective theory (SCET). This formula constrains which operators are required to correctly describe the infrared at any order in the Lambda_QCD/Q…
Let $\chi$ be a non-principal Dirichlet character and $L(s, \chi)$ be the associated Dirichlet $L$-function. Let us use $\mathcal{L}(s,\chi)$ to denote its logarithmic derivative $L'(s, \chi)/L(s, \chi)$. We first prove some arithmetic…
In [Yan22a], we defined so-called ``log-type" GCD sums and proved the lower bounds $\Gamma^{(\ell)}_1(N) \gg_{\ell} \left(\log\log N\right)^{2+2\ell}$. We will establish the upper bounds $\Gamma^{(\ell)}_1(N)\ll_{\ell} \left(\log \log…
This paper proposes a global Pad\'{e} approximation of the generalized Mittag-Leffler function $E_{\alpha,\beta}(-x)$ with $x\in[0,+\infty)$. This uniform approximation can account for both the Taylor series for small arguments and…
Building on recent work in SU(N) Yang-Mills theory, we construct a manifestly gauge invariant exact renormalization group for QCD. A gauge invariant cutoff is constructed by embedding the physical gauge theory in a spontaneously broken…
We show that the $n$th derivative of the Riemann zeta function, when summed over the non-trivial zeros of zeta, is real and positive/negative in the mean for $n$ odd/even, respectively. We show this by giving a full asymptotic expansion of…
We compare methods to resum logarithms in event shape distributions as they have been used in perturbative QCD directly and in effective field theory. We demonstrate that they are equivalent. In showing this equivalence, we are able to put…
To detect differences between the mean curves of two samples in longitudinal study or functional data analysis, we usually need to partition the temporal or spatial domain into several pre-determined sub-areas. In this paper we apply the…
Assuming that a threshold Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process is observed at discrete time instants, we propose generalized moment estimators to estimate the parameters. Our theoretical basis is the celebrated ergodic theorem. To use this theorem we…
We study the properties of the logarithm of the derivative operator and show that its action on a constant is not zero, but yields the sum of the logarithmic function and the Euler-Mascheroni constant. We discuss more general aspects…
I present a unifying scheme for hadronic functions that comprises logarithmic corrections due to gluon emission in perturbative QCD, as well as power-behaved corrections of nonperturbative origin. The latter are derived by demanding that…
Effective coupling constant in quantum electrodynamics is investigated. A pole appears in the effective coupling constant for the space-like momentum if it is calculated by perturbation. The pole can be eliminated by the analytic…
We substantially apply the Li criterion for the Riemann hypothesis to hold. Based upon a series representation for the sequence \{\lambda_k\}, which are certain logarithmic derivatives of the Riemann xi function evaluated at unity, we…
In this letter, we propose a novel statistical method to measure which system is better suited to probe small deviations from the usual quantum behavior. Such deviations are motivated by a number of theoretical and phenomenological…
We pursue a new method, based on lattice QCD, for determining the quantities $\bar{\Lambda}$, $\lambda_1$, and $\lambda_2$ of heavy-quark effective theory. We combine Monte Carlo data for the meson mass spectrum with perturbative…
Meta-analysis is commonly used to combine results from multiple clinical trials, but traditional meta-analysis methods do not refer explicitly to a population of individuals to whom the results apply and it is not clear how to use their…
Three different approaches to precisely describe the Adler function in the Euclidean regime at around $2\, \mathrm{GeVs}$ are available: dispersion relations based on the hadronic production data in $e^+e^-$ annihilation, lattice…
Motivated by the need to correct the potentially large kinematic errors in approximations used in the standard formulation of perturbative QCD, we reformulate deeply inelastic lepton-proton scattering in terms of gauge invariant, universal…
The logarithmic slope of diffractive structure function is a potential observable to separate the hard and soft contributions in diffraction, allowing to disentangle the QCD dynamics. In this paper we extend our previous analyzes and…
Denote by $\mu_\beta="\exp(\beta X)"$ the Gaussian multiplicative chaos which is defined using a log-correlated Gaussian field $X$ on a domain $U\subset\mathbb{R}^d$. The case $\beta\in\mathbb{R}$ has been studied quite intensively, and…
