Gauge invariance properties and singularity cancellations in a modified PQCD
نویسندگان
چکیده
The gauge-invariance properties and singularity elimination of the modified perturbation theory for QCD introduced in previous works, are investigated. The construction of the modified free propagators is generalized to include the dependence on the gauge parameter α. Further, a functional proof of the independence of the theory under the changes of the quantum and classical gauges is given. The singularities appearing in the perturbative expansion are eliminated by properly combining dimensional regularization with the Nakanishi infrared regularization for the invariant functions in the operator quantization of the α-dependent gauge theory. First-order evaluations of various quantities are presented, illustrating the gauge invariance-properties.

On Cancellations of Ultraviolet Divergences in Supergravity Amplitudes
Concrete calculations have pointed out that amplitudes in perturbative gravity exhibit unanticipated cancellations taming their ultraviolet behaviour independently of supersymmetry. Similar ultraviolet behaviour of N = 4 super-Yang-Mills and N = 8 maximal supergravity has explicitly been observed until three loops. These cancellations can be connected to two manifest features of gravitational t...

We study a fundamental, all order cancellation operating between graphs of distinct kinematic nature, which allows for the construction of gauge-independent effective self-energies, vertices, and boxes at arbitrary order. When quantizing gauge theories in the continuum one must invariably resort to an appropriate gauge-fixing procedure in order to remove redundant (non-dynamical) degrees of fre...

متن کاملFragmentation, Factorization and Infrared Poles in Heavy Quarkonium Production
We explore the role of soft gluon exchange in heavy quarkonium production at large transverse momentum. We find uncanceled infrared poles at NNLO that are not matched by conventional NRQCD matrix elements. We show, however, that gauge invariance and factorization require that conventional NRQCD production operators be modified to include nonabelian phases or Wilson lines. With appropriately mod...

The Haft Saravan area is located in 90 km SE Arak in the central Iran. This area is a part of Malyer-Isfahan metallogenic belt. The article's objective is determining the most suitable method for identifying mineralized zones using original singularity and weighted singularity methods in three-dimensional space. In weighted singularity method, mineralized zones have a greater volume relative to...
