In this thesis, we develop resummation algorithms suitable for perturbative QCD. In the first part, we propose a resummation technique applicable to the Regge limit. We develop a new systematic procedure for this limit in perturbative QCD…
It is shown that the commonly accepted relationship between the Landau singularity in the running coupling constant of QED or QCD and the renormalon singularities in the Borel sums of perturbation theory expansions is only a particular…
Given a truncated perturbation expansion of a physical quantity, one can, under certain circumstances, obtain lower or upper bounds (or both) to the sum of the full perturbation series by using the Borel transform and a variational…
Using renormalization-group methods, differential equations can be obtained for the all-orders summation of leading and subsequent non-leading logarithmic corrections to QCD perturbative series for a number of processes and correlation…
This talk reviews some recent trends in perturbative quantum chromodynamics, with emphasis on higher orders in perturbation theory, resummation and power corrections.
We discuss perturbative solutions of renormalization group equations, and propose the use of resummation scale techniques in assessing theoretical uncertainties on the extraction of parton distribution functions from data.
Higher orders in perturbation theory require the calculation of Feynman integrals at multiple loops. We report on an approach to systematically solve Feynman integrals by means of symbolic summation and discuss the underlying algorithms.…
This review article discusses the experimental and theoretical status of various Parton Model sum rules. The basis of the sum rules in perturbative QCD is discussed. Their use in extracting the value of the strong coupling constant is…
I give a pedagogical introduction to resummation and power corrections, using the thrust variable in electron-positron annihilation as an example, followed by an discussion of issues of predictability in perturbative QCD.
Relation between the infrared renormalons, the Borel resummation prescriptions, and the analyticity structure of Green functions in perturbative QCD (pQCD) is investigated. A specific recently suggested Borel resummation prescription…
We discuss the large order behaviour and Borel summability of the topological expansion of models of 2D gravity coupled to general $(p,q)$ conformal matter. In a previous work it was proven that at large order $k$ the string susceptibility…
I give a short review of the relation of infrared renormalons in QCD and higher twist effects, with the emphasis on possible applications. In particular, I present estimates of renormalon-induced uncertainties in deep inelastic sum rules…
A novel, non-power, expansion of QCD quantities replacing the standard perturbative expansion in powers of the renormalized couplant a has recently been introduced and examined by two of us. Being obtained by analytic continuation in the…
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…
The `renormalon' or `dispersive' method for estimating non-perturbative corrections to QCD observables is reviewed. The corrections are power-suppressed, i.e. of the form $A/Q^p$ where $Q$ is the hard process momentum scale. The renormalon…
A perturbation scheme is discussed for the computation of the normalization constant of the large order behavior arising from an ultraviolet renormalon. In this scheme the normalization constant is expressed in a convergent series that can…
Ultraviolet renormalons, contrary to their infrared counterparts, lead to a universal contribution to the large-order behaviour of perturbative expansions in QCD. In this letter, we determine nature of the leading ultraviolet renormalon…
We compare and contrast three different perturbative expansions for the quartic anharmonic oscillator wavefunction and apply a modified Borel summation technique to determine the energy eigenvalues. In the first two expansions this provides…
The large-beta_0 limit of QCD is discussed, with the emphasize on simple technical methods of calculating various quantities at the order 1/\beta_0. Many examples, mainly from heavy quark physics, are considered. Some QCD results based on…
We consider a class of second order ordinary differential equations describing one-dimensional systems with a quasi-periodic analytic forcing term and in the presence of damping. As a physical application one can think of a…
