摘要:

在许多物理上有趣的情况下,微扰展开似乎是发散级数,包括在量子场论如量子电动力学(QED)和量子色动力学(QCD)中,微扰系数在大的阶次上呈现阶乘增长。虽然这一特征对QED的物理预言几乎没有影响,但在中等能量的微扰QCD应用中,它可能会产生重要的后果。特别是,它会影响强耦合$α_s$从强子$τ$衰变提取的理论误差,尽管目前的微扰计算进展到四个循环。本文讨论了QCD双曲子的一种新的微扰展开式,它用一组新的展开函数代替耦合的标准幂。这些功能被定义通过一个最佳的保角映射的Borel复平面,它实现了已知的功能的高阶发散的最低Borel平面奇点。扩展函数的性质类似于扩展的双曲子的性质,特别是表现出双曲子在$α_s=0$处的奇异行为。我们证明了良好的收敛性能的数学模型,模拟物理偏振函数的轻夸克及其衍生物(阿德勒函数),在各种处方的重整化群求和的新的扩展。

英文摘要:

Perturbation expansions appear to be divergent series in many physically interesting situations, including in quantum field theories like quantum electrodynamics (QED) and quantum chromodynamics (QCD), where the perturbative coefficients exhibit a factorial growth at large orders. While this feature has little impact on physical predictions in QED, it can have nontrivial consequences in applications of perturbative QCD at moderate energies. In particular, it affects the theoretical error in the extraction of the strong coupling $α_s$ from hadronic $τ$ decays, despite progress of perturbative calculations available at present to four loops. We discuss a new type of perturbative expansion for QCD correlators, which uses instead of the standard powers of the coupling a new set of expansion functions. These functions are defined by means of an optimal conformal mapping of the Borel complex plane, which implements the known features of the high-order divergence in terms of the lowest Borel-plane singularities. The properties of the expansion functions resemble those of the expanded correlators, by exhibiting in particular the singular behaviour of the correlators at $α_s=0$. We prove the good convergence properties of the new expansions on mathematical models that simulate the physical polarization function for light quarks and its derivative (the Adler function), in various prescriptions of renormalization-group summation.
