Commensurate Scale Relations and the Abelian Correspondence Principle
نویسندگان
چکیده
Commensurate scale relations are perturbative QCD predictions which relate observable to observable at xed relative scales, independent of the choice of intermediate renormalization scheme or other theoretical conventions. A prominent example is the generalized Crewther relation" which connects the Bjorken and Gross-Llewellyn Smith deep inelastic scattering sum rules to measurements of the e + e , annihilation cross section. Commensurate scale relations also provide an extension of the standard minimal subtraction scheme which is analytic in the quark masses, has non-ambiguous scale-setting properties, and inherits the physical properties of the eeective c harge V Q 2 deened from the heavy quark potential. I also discuss a property of perturbation theory, the Abelian correspondence principle", which provides an analytic constraint on non-Abelian gauge theory for N C ! 0:

Systematic Scale-Setting to All Orders: The Principle of Maximum Conformality and Commensurate Scale Relations
We present in detail a new systematic method which can be used to automatically eliminate the renormalization scheme and scale ambiguities in perturbative QCD predictions at all orders. We show that all of the nonconformal β-dependent terms in a QCD perturbative series can be readily identified by generalizing the conventional renormalization schemes based on dimensional regularization. We then...
متن کاملConformal Symmetry as a Template for QCD∗
Conformal symmetry is broken in physical QCD; nevertheless, one can use conformal symmetry as a template, systematically correcting for its nonzero β function as well as higher-twist effects. For example, commensurate scale relations which relate QCD observables to each other, such as the generalized Crewther relation, have no renormalization scale or scheme ambiguity and retain a convergent pe...
متن کاملFirst non-abelian cohomology of topological groups II
In this paper we introduce a new definition of the first non-abelian cohomology of topological groups. We relate the cohomology of a normal subgroup $N$ of a topological group $G$ and the quotient $G/N$ to the cohomology of $G$. We get the inflation-restriction exact sequence. Also, we obtain a seven-term exact cohomology sequence up to dimension 2. We give an interpretation of the first non-a...
متن کاملPrecision Tests of Quantum Chromodynamicsand
We discuss three topics relevant to testing the Standard Model to high precision: commensurate scale relations, which relate observables to each other in pertuba-tion theory without renormalization scale or scheme ambiguity, the relationship of compositeness to anomalous moments, and new methods for measuring the anomalous magnetic and quadrupole moments of the W and Z. 1. Introduction One of t...
