A Convergent Reformulation of QCD Perturbation Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
We propose a generalization of Grunberg’s method of effective charges in which, starting with the effective charge for some dimensionless QCD observable dependent on the single energy scale Q, R(Q), we introduce an infinite set of auxiliary effective charges, each one describing the sub-asymptotic Qevolution of the immediately preceding effective charge. The corresponding infinite set of coupled integrated effective charge beta-function equations may be truncated. The resulting approximations for R(Q) are the convergents of a continued function. They are manifestly RS-invariant and converge to a limit equal to the Borel sum of the standard asymptotic perturbation series in αs(μ ), with remaining ambiguities due to infra-red renormalons. There are close connections with Padé approximation.

Convergence of the expansion of the Laplace-Borel integral in perturbative QCD improved by conformal mapping
The optimal conformal mapping of the Borel plane was recently used to accelerate the convergence of the perturbation expansions in QCD. In this work we discuss the relevance of the method for the calculation of the Laplace-Borel integral expressing formally the QCD Green functions. We define an optimal expansion of the Laplace-Borel integral in the principal value prescription and establish con...
متن کاملNon-perturbative Chiral Corrections for Lattice Qcd
We explore the chiral aspects of extrapolation of observables calculated within lattice QCD, using the nucleon magnetic moments as an example. Our analysis shows that the biggest effects of chiral dynamics occur for quark masses corresponding to a pion mass below 600 MeV. In this limited range chiral perturbation theory is not rapidly convergent, but we can develop some understanding of the beh...

QCD perturbation theory at large orders with large renormalization scales in the large β 0 limit. Abstract. We examine the QCD perturbation series at large orders, for different values of the 'large β 0 renormalization scale'. It is found that if we let this scale grow exponentially with the order, the divergent series can be turned into an expansion that converges to the Borel integral, with a...

متن کاملA Proof of Quark Confinement in Qcd
I propose to reformulate the gauge eld theory as the perturbative deformation of a novel topological quantum eld theory. It is shown that this reformulation leads to quark con nement in QCD4. Similarly, the fractional charge con nement is also derived in the strong coupling phase of QED4. As a con nement criterion, we use the area decay of the expectation value of the Wilson loop.
