We compute the on-shell wave function renormalization constant to four-loop order in QCD and present numerical results for all coefficients of the SU$(N_c)$ colour factors. We extract the four-loop HQET anomalous dimension of the heavy…
The renormalized Dyson-Schwinger equation for the quark propagator is studied, in Landau gauge, in a novel truncation which preserves multiplicative renormalizability. The renormalization constants are formally eliminated from the integral…
Physical quantities in QCD do not depend upon $\alpha_s(Q)$. There is no way to measure $\alpha_s(Q)$ experimentally. If those statements sound shocking, please read on. They are actually well-known facts, though ones that are constantly…
We give an introduction to renormalisation, focusing first on a pedagogical description of fundamental concepts of the procedure and its features, then we introduce the renormalisation group and its equations. We discuss then the case of…
A regularization renormalization method ($RRM$) in quantum field theory ($QFT$) is discussed with simple rules: Once a divergent integral $I$ is encountered, we first take its derivative with respect to some mass parameter enough times,…
Dynamical chiral symmetry breaking is described within the linear sigma model of QCD coupled to quarks. The main technical tool used for this intrinsically non--perturbative problem is an exact renormalization group equation for the quantum…

Perturbative QCD (pQCD) running coupling a(Q^2) (=alpha_s(Q^2)/pi) is expected to get modified at low spacelike momenta 0 < Q^2 < 1 GeV^2 so that, instead of having unphysical (Landau) singularities it remains smooth and finite there, due…
For supersymmetric gauge theories a consistent regularization scheme that preserves supersymmetry and gauge invariance is not known. In this article we tackle this problem for supersymmetric QED within the framework of algebraic…
Renormalization constants can be computed by means of Numerical Stochastic Perturbation Theory to two/three loops in lattice perturbation theory, both in the quenched approximation and in the full (unquenched) theory. As a case of study we…
Non-conserved composite operators like the quark axial current have divergent matrix elements therefore must be renormalized. We explore how this can be done in quark model calculations where the systematic procedure of dimensional…
QCD Laplace transform sum rules, involving the axial-vector current divergences, are used in order to determine the strange quark mass. The two-point function is known in QCD up to four loops in perturbation theory, and up to dimension-six…
We apply a previously developed method of renormalon-based resummation of spacelike and timelike QCD observables, to evaluate of the values of the pole masses $m_q$ of $q=b$ and $c$ quarks, using as input the knowledge of the values of the…
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…
We show that given one O(a) improvement constant, b_m, all the remaining quantities needed to define the renormalized and O(a) improved dimension-3 quark bilinears can be obtained by studying the matrix elements of these operators between…
The renormalization of the scalar diquark operator and its anomalous dimension is calculated at two-loop order in QCD, enabling higher-order QCD studies of diquarks. As an application of our result, the two-loop diquark anomalous dimension…
In the QCD energy-momentum tensor $T^{\mu\nu}$, the terms that contribute to physical matrix elements are expressed as the sum of the gauge-invariant quark part and gluon part. Each part undergoes the renormalization due to the interactions…
