We check quantitatively the validity of some popular phenomenological approaches of QCD in simple models. Dispersion sum rules are considered within the ladder approximation of a field-theoretic model with OPE given by ordinary loop…
A nonperturbative approach to two-dimensional covariant gauge QCD is presented in the context of the Schwinger-Dyson equations and the corresponding Slavnov-Taylor identities. The distribution theory, complemented by the dimensional…

Using renormalization-group methods, we derive differential equations for the all-orders summation of logarithmic corrections to the QCD series for R(s) = sigma(e^+ e^- --> hadrons)/sigma(e^+ e^- --> mu^+ mu^-), as obtained from the…
The renormalization group method enables one to improve the properties of the QCD perturbative power series in the ultraviolet region. However, it ultimately leads to the unphysical singularities of observables in the infrared domain. The…
We present a novel approach, based entirely on the gravitational potential, for studying the evolution of non-linear cosmological matter perturbations. Starting from the perturbed Einstein equations, we integrate out the non-relativistic…
The subject of the first section-lecture is concerned with the strength and the weakness of the perturbation theory (PT) approach, that is expansion in powers of a small parameter $\alpha$, in Quantum Theory. We start with outlining a…
The sum-of-squares method can give rigorous lower bounds on the energy of quantum Hamiltonians. Unfortunately, typically using this method requires solving a semidefinite program, which can be computationally expensive. Further, the…
We show that the gauge invariant treatment of the Schwinger-Dyson equations of QCD leads to an infrared finite gluon propagator, signaling the dynamical generation of an effective gluon mass, and a non-enhanced ghost propagator, in…
We study the dimensionally regularized fermion propagator Dyson-Schwinger equation in quenched nonperturbative QED. We work in arbitrary covariant gauge and perform nonperturbative renormalization numerically. The nonperturbative fermion…
Physical quantities in QCD are independent of renormalization scheme (RS), but that exact invariance is spoiled by truncations of the perturbation series. "Optimization" corresponds to making the perturbative approximant, at any given…
The radiative decay $ B_{q}^*\to B_{q}\gamma(q=u,d, or s) $ is reexamined with a modified light-cone QCD sum rule method, in which adequate chiral operators are chosen as the interpolating fields in the correlators used for a sum rule…
This is a doctoral thesis dissertation developed in the frame of theoretical QCD predictions, with focus on two main topics. On the one hand, the large-order bahavior of perturbative QCD series is discussed. By reviewing the main…
A conformal invariant QED-inspired model is solved for a general covariant linear gauge using the Dyson-Schwinger equations for the propagators assuming a pure vector like interaction. The leading corrections to the asymptotic solutions and…
The general behaviour of perturbation series in non-equilibrium scalar field theory is analysed in some detail, with a particular emphasis on the ``pathological terms'', generated by multiple products of $\delta$-functions. Using an…
I provide a straightforward proof that a simple harmonic oscillator perturbed by an (almost) arbitrary positive interaction has a perturbative expansion for any finite-time Euclidian transition amplitude which obeys the following result:…
We study the perturbative approach to the Wilsonian integration of noncommutative gauge theories in the matrix representation. We begin by motivating the study of noncommutative gauge theories and reviewing the matrix formulation. We then…
Based on the renormalization group summation method of McKeon ${\it et\; al.}$, it is shown that the renormalization group equation, while related to the radiatively mass scale $\mu$, would perform a summation over QCD perturbative terms.…
A remarkable extension of Rayleigh-Schroedinger perturbation method is found. Its (N+q) x (N+1) - dimensional Hamiltonians (as emerging, e.g., during quasi-exact constructions of bound states) are non-square matrices at q > 1. The role of…
A particular choice of renormalization, within the simplifications provided by the non-perturbative property of Effective Locality, leads to a completely finite, renormalized theory of QCD, in which all correlation functions can, in…
