Reconciling the FOPT and CIPT predictions for the hadronic tau decay rate

In a recent work it was suggested that the discrepancy observed in the perturbation series behavior of the \tau <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"> <mml:mi>τ</mml:mi> </mml:math> hadronic decay rate determined in the FOPT and CIPT approaches can be explained from a different infrared sensitivity inherent to both methods, assuming that the major source of the discrepancy is the asymptotic behavior of the series related to the gluon condensate renormalon. This implies that the predictions of both methods may be reconciled in infrared subtracted perturbation theory. In this talk we explore this implication concretely in the large- \beta_0 <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"> <mml:msub> <mml:mi>β</mml:mi> <mml:mn>0</mml:mn> </mml:msub> </mml:math> approximation, where the perturbation series is known to all orders, using a renormalon-free scheme for the gluon condensate.
