αs and the τ hadronic width: fixed-order, contour- improved and higher-order perturbation theory
The determination of αs from hadronic τ decays is revisited, with a special emphasis on the question of higher-order perturbative corrections and different possibilities of resumming the perturbative series with the renormalisation group: fixed-order (FOPT) vs. contour-improved perturbation theory (CIPT). The difference between these approaches has evolved into a systematic effect that does not...
متن کاملQcd at Complex Coupling, Large Order in Perturbation Theory and the Gluon Condensate
We discuss the relationship between the large order behavior of the perturbative series for the average plaquette in pure gauge theory and singularities in the complex coupling plane. We discuss simple extrapolations of the large order for this series. We point out that when these extrapolated series are subtracted from the Monte Carlo data, one obtains (naive) estimates of the gluon condensate...
متن کاملSecond-order perturbation theory: problems on large scales
In general-relativistic perturbation theory, a point mass accelerates away from geodesic motion due to its gravitational self-force. Because the self-force is small, one can often approximate the motion as geodesic. However, it is well known that self-force effects accumulate over time, making the geodesic approximation fail on long timescales. It is less well known that this failure at large t...
متن کاملLarge-Order Perturbation Theory in Infrared-Unstable Superrenormalizable Field Theories
We study the factorial divergences of Euclidean φ5, a problem with connections both to high-energy multiparticle scattering in d=4 and to d=3 (or high-temperature) gauge theory, which like φ5 is infrared-unstable and superrenormalizable. At large external momentum p (or small mass M) and large order N one might expect perturbative bare skeleton graphs to behave roughly like N !(ag/p) with a > 0...
متن کاملform factor at order p 6 of chiral perturbation theory
K 0 form factor at order p 6 of chiral perturbation theory Abstract This paper describes the calculation of the electromagnetic form factor of the K 0 meson at order p 6 of chiral perturbation theory which is the next-to-leading order correction to the well-known p 4 result achieved by Gasser and Leutwyler. On the one hand, at order p 6 the chiral expansion contains 1-and 2-loop diagrams which ...
