Using the general argument in Borel resummation of perturbation theory that links the divergent perturbation theory to the nonperturbative effect we argue that the nonperturbative effect associated with the perturbation theory should have a…
Perturbation series in quantum field theory are generally divergent asymptotic series which are also typically not Borel resummable in the sense that the resummed series is ambiguous. The ambiguity is associated with singularities in the…
Perhaps the simplest IR renormalon occurs in the ground state energy of a superrenormalizable model, the scalar $O(N)$ theory in two dimensions with a quartic potential and negative squared mass. We show that this renormalon, found…
In this thesis we explore the physics of renormalons in integrable models under the framework of resurgence. In the first part, we review some background on resurgence, integrability and renormalons, including a discussion of large N…
Perturbative expansions in many physical systems yield 'only' asymptotic series which are not even Borel resummable. Interestingly, the corresponding ambiguities point to nonperturbative physics. We numerically verify this renormalon…
In two lectures, we overview the renormalon and renormalon-related techniques and their phenomenological applications. We begin with a single renormalon chain which is a well defined and systematic way to specify the character of…
We study the factorial divergences of Euclidean $\phi^3_5$, a problem with connections both to high-energy multiparticle scattering in d=4 and to d=3 (or high-temperature) gauge theory, which like $\phi^3_5$ is infrared-unstable and…
Non-perturbative renormalization of lattice composite operators plays a crucial role in many applications of lattice field theory. We sketch the general problems involved in this task and the methods which are currently used to cope with…
In a wide range of quantum theoretical settings -- from quantum mechanics to quantum field theory, from gauge theory to string theory -- singularities in the complex Borel plane, usually associated to instantons or renormalons, render…
We consider the O(N)-symmetric phi4 theory in two and three dimensions and determine the nonperturbative mass renormalization needed to obtain the phi4 continuum theory. The required nonperturbative information is obtained by resumming…
A general strategy to solve the non-perturbative renormalization problem in lattice QCD, using finite-size techniques and numerical simulations, is described. As an illustration we discuss the computation of the axial current normalization…
The exact mass gap of the O(N) Gross-Neveu model is known, for arbitrary $N$, from non-perturbative methods. However, a "naive" perturbative expansion of the pole mass exhibits an infinite set of infrared renormalons at order 1/N, formally…
Infrared safe differential cross sections, such as event shape distributions, can be measured over wide kinematic ranges, from regions where fixed order calculations are adequate to regions where nonperturbative dynamics dominate. Such…
I review the strategies which have been developped in recent years to solve the non-perturbative renormalization problem in lattice field theories. Although the techniques are general, the focus will be on applications to lattice QCD. I…
Perturbative expansion in the nonperturbative confining QCD background is formulated. The properly renormalized $\alpha_S(R)$ is shown to be finite at large distances, with the string tension playing the role of an infrared regulator. The…
Recently new methods have been introduced to investigate the non-renormalization properties of the anomalies at a non perturbative level and in presence of a lattice. The issue is relevant in a number of problems ranging from the…
In 2+1 dimensions, we propose a renormalizable non-linear sigma model action which describes the $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric generalization of Galilean Electrodynamics. We first start with the simplest model obtained by null reduction of…
A new approach to nonperturbative calculations in quantum electrodynamics is proposed. The approach is based on a regular iteration scheme for solution of Schwinger-Dyson equations for generating functional of Green functions. The approach…
We analyze the perturbative expansion of a condensate in the O(N) non-linear sigma model for large N on a two dimensional finite lattice. On an infinite volume this expansion is affected by an infrared renormalon. We extrapolate this…
The SU(3) gauge theory with fermions in the sextet representation is one of several theories of interest for technicolor models. We have carried out a Schrodinger functional (SF) calculation for the lattice theory with two flavors of Wilson…
