Infrared Renormalons and Finite Volume *

چکیده
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 analysis to the case of the gluon condensate of Yang-Mills theory and argue that infrared renormalons can be detected by performing perturbative studies even on relatively small lattices.

Renormalons Beyond One-Loop
Higher order renormalons beyond the chain of one-loop bubbles are discussed. A perturbation method for the infrared renormalon residue is found. The large order behavior of the current-current correlation function due to the first infrared renormalon is determined in both QED and QCD to the first three orders.
متن کاملLarge-order Behaviour due to Ultraviolet Renormalons in QCD
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 singularity for the inclusive hadroproduction cross section in ee annihilation, for hadronic τ decays and the moments of deep-inelastic scattering structure fun...
متن کاملRenormalon disappearance in Borel sum of the 1 / N expansion of the Gross - Neveu model mass gap
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 similar to the QCD heavy quark pole mass renormalons, potentially leading to large O(Λ) perturbative ambiguities. We examine the precise vanishing mechanism ...
متن کاملRenormalons and Power Corrections
Even for short-distance dominated observables the QCD perturbation expansion is never complete. The divergence of the expansion through infrared renormalons provides formal evidence of this fact. In this article we review how this apparent failure can be turned into a useful tool to investigate power corrections to hard processes in QCD.

Perturbative expansion in the nonperturbative confining QCD background is formulated. The properly renormalized α S (R) is shown to be finite at large distances, with the string tension playing the role of an infrared regulator. The infra–red renormalons are shown to be absent in the new perturbation series.
