We argue from both the quark language and the free field light-cone expansion in light-cone perturbation theory that the constraint of overall “energy” conservation in deep inelastic lepton-nucleon scattering yields a similar new scaling variable xp, which reduces to the Weizmann variable, the Bloom-Gilman variable and the Bjorken variable at some approximations. The xp rescaling is expected to be a good scaling variable, and hence gives strong power-law type corrections to the deviations of Bjorken scaling. An understanding of this xp rescaling from both the free field operator product expansion (OPE) and the ordinary OPE is also given, indicating it is likely a higher order effect in the coefficient functions, i.e. it does not belong to the higher twist effect. Therefore this xp rescaling is likely a new effect contributing to the power-law type corrections.

Distance Behavior

We review recent investigations on the short distance behaviors of potentials among baryons, which are formulated through the Nambu–Bethe–Salpeter (NBS) wave function. After explaining the method to define the potentials, we analyze the short distance behavior of the NBS wave functions and the corresponding potentials by combining the operator product expansion (OPE) and a renormalization group (RG) analysis in the perturbation theory (PT) of QCD. These analytic results are compared with numerical results obtained in lattice QCD simulations.

A framework of operator product expansion (OPE) allows us to study high-energy behaviour of Green functions. A calculation of such Green functions within chiral perturbation theory (χPT) or resonance chiral theory (RχT) and subsequent matching of the result to the OPE enables us to determine constraints for unknown parameters of the effective theories. We present such procedure for Green functions in the odd-intrinsic parity sector of QCD.

Abstract The high energy Operator Product Expansion for the product of two electromagnetic currents is extended to the sub-eikonal level in a rigorous way. I calculate the impact factors for polarized and unpolarized structure functions, define new distribution functions, and derive the evolution equations for unpolarized and polarized structure functions in the flavor singlet and non-singlet case.

Abstract The Operator Product Expansion is a useful tool to represent correlation functions. In this note we extend Conformal Regge theory to provide an exact OPE representation of Lorenzian four-point correlators in conformal field theory, valid even away from Regge limit. The representation extends convergence of the OPE by rewriting it as a double integral over continuous spins and dimensions, and features a novel “Regge block”. We test the formula in the conformal fishnet theory, where exact results involving nontrivial Regge trajectories are available.

Abstract We discuss some general aspects of commutators of local operators in Lorentzian CFTs, which can be obtained from a suitable analytic continuation of the Euclidean operator product expansion (OPE). Commutators only make sense as distributions, and care has to be taken to extract the right distribution from the OPE. We provide explicit computations in two and four-dimensional CFTs, focusing mainly on commutators of components of the stress-tensor. We rederive several familiar results, such as the canonical commutation relations of free field theory, the local form of the Poincaré algebra, and the Virasoro algebra of two-dimensional CFT. We then consider commutators of light-ray operators built from the stress-tensor. Using simplifying features of the light sheet limit in four-dimensional CFT we provide a direct computation of the BMS algebra formed by a specific set of light-ray operators in theories with no light scalar conformal primaries. In four-dimensional CFT we define a new infinite set of light-ray operators constructed from the stress-tensor, which all have well-defined matrix elements. These are a direct generalization of the two-dimensional Virasoro light-ray operators that are obtained from a conformal embedding of Minkowski space in the Lorentzian cylinder. They obey Hermiticity conditions similar to their two-dimensional analogues, and also share the property that a semi-infinite subset annihilates the vacuum.

Abstract We study co-dimension two monodromy defects in theories of conformally coupled scalars and free Dirac fermions in arbitrary d dimensions. We characterise this family of conformal defects by computing the one-point functions of the stress-tensor and conserved current for Abelian flavour symmetries as well as two-point functions of the displacement operator. In the case of d = 4, the normalisation of these correlation functions are related to defect Weyl anomaly coefficients, and thus provide crucial information about the defect conformal field theory. We provide explicit checks on the values of the defect central charges by calculating the universal part of the defect contribution to entanglement entropy, and further, we use our results to extract the universal part of the vacuum Rényi entropy. Moreover, we leverage the non-supersymmetric free field results to compute a novel defect Weyl anomaly coefficient in a d = 4 theory of free $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 2 hypermultiplets. Including singular modes in the defect operator product expansion of fundamental fields, we identify notable relevant deformations in the singular defect theories and show that they trigger a renormalisation group flow towards an IR fixed point with the most regular defect OPE. We also study Gukov-Witten defects in free d = 4 Maxwell theory and show that their central charges vanish.
