Nonresonant renormalization scheme for twist-2 operators in SU(N) Yang–Mills theory
Abstract Recently, the short-distance asymptotics of the generating functional of n -point correlators of twist-2 operators in SU( N ) Yang–Mills (YM) theory has been worked out in Bochicchio et al. (Phys Rev D 108:054023, 2023). The above computation relies on a basis change of renormalized twist-2 operators, where $$-\gamma (g)/ \beta (g)$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mrow> <mml:mo>-</mml:mo> <mml:mi>γ</mml:mi> <mml:mo>(</mml:mo> <mml:mi>g</mml:mi> <mml:mo>)</mml:mo> <mml:mo>/</mml:mo> <mml:mi>β</mml:mi> <mml:mo>(</mml:mo> <mml:mi>g</mml:mi> <mml:mo>)</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> reduces to $$\gamma _0/ (\beta _0\,g)$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mrow> <mml:msub> <mml:mi>γ</mml:mi> <mml:mn>0</mml:mn> </mml:msub> <mml:mo>/</mml:mo> <mml:mrow> <mml:mo>(</mml:mo> <mml:msub> <mml:mi>β</mml:mi> <mml:mn>0</mml:mn> </mml:msub> <mml:mspace/> <mml:mi>g</mml:mi> <mml:mo>)</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> to all orders of perturbation theory, with $$\gamma _0$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:msub> <mml:mi>γ</mml:mi> <mml:mn>0</mml:mn> </mml:msub> </mml:math> diagonal, $$\gamma (g) = \gamma _0 g^2+\cdots $$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>γ</mml:mi> <mml:mrow> <mml:mo>(</mml:mo> <mml:mi>g</mml:mi> <mml:mo>)</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> <mml:mo>=</mml:mo> <mml:msub> <mml:mi>γ</mml:mi> <mml:mn>0</mml:mn> </mml:msub> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>g</mml:mi> <mml:mn>2</mml:mn> </mml:msup> <mml:mo>+</mml:mo> <mml:mo>⋯</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> the anomalous-dimension matrix and $$\beta (g) = -\beta _0 g^3+\cdots $$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>β</mml:mi> <mml:mrow> <mml:mo>(</mml:mo> <mml:mi>g</mml:mi> <mml:mo>)</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> <mml:mo>=</mml:mo> <mml:mo>-</mml:mo> <mml:msub> <mml:mi>β</mml:mi> <mml:mn>0</mml:mn> </mml:msub> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>g</mml:mi> <mml:mn>3</mml:mn> </mml:msup> <mml:mo>+</mml:mo> <mml:mo>⋯</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> the beta function.
