  • gauge invariant approach to the beta Function in yang mills theories with universal extra dimensions
    Physical Review D, 2020
    Co-Authors: M Huertaleal, H Novalessanchez, J J Toscano
    Abstract:

    The radiative correction to the beta Function is comprehensively studied at the one-loop level in the context of universal extra dimensions. Instead of using cutoffs to regularize one-loop divergences, the dimensional regularization scheme is used. In this approach, large momenta effects are removed from physical amplitudes by adjusting the parameters of the appropriate counterterms. The use of a $\mathrm{SU}(N)$-covariant gauge-fixing procedure to quantize the theory is stressed. One-loop contributions of Kaluza-Klein (KK) excitations are characterized by discrete KK sums and continuous momenta sums, which can diverge. Two types of ultraviolet divergences are identified, one arising from poles of the gamma Function and associated with short-distance effects in the usual four-dimensional spacetime manifold and the other emerging either from poles of the one-dimensional Epstein Function or from the gamma Function and corresponding to short-distance effects in the compact manifold. We address the cases of 5 and $4+n$ dimensions ($n\ensuremath{\ge}2$) separately. In five dimensions, the one-dimensional Epstein Function is convergent, so the usual counterterm renormalizes the vacuum-Polarization Function. For $4+n$ dimensions, the one-dimensional Epstein Function is divergent, so renormalization is implemented by interactions of canonical dimension higher than 4, already present in the effective theory. The Polarization Function is renormalized using both a mass-dependent scheme and a mass-independent scheme, with extra-dimensions effects decoupling in the former case but not in the latter. The beta Function is calculated for an arbitrary number of extra dimensions. Our main result is that Yang-Mills theory remains perturbative at the one-loop level, which is in disagreement with the results obtained in the literature by using a cutoff regulator, which suggest that Yang-Mills theory in more than four dimensions ceases to be perturbative. We emphasize the advantages of a mass-dependent scheme in this type of theories, in which decoupling is manifest.

  • Recent progress in computing four-loop massive correlators
    Nuclear Physics B - Proceedings Supplements, 2007
    Co-Authors: K. G. Chetyrkin, J. H. Kühn, Christian Sturm
    Abstract:

    We report about recent progress in computing four-loop massive correlators. The expansion of these correlators in the external momentum leads to vacuum integrals. The calculation of these vacuum integrals can be used to determine Taylor expansion coefficients of the vacuum Polarization Function and decoupling Functions in perturbative Quantum chromodynamics. New results at four-loop order for the lowest Taylor expansion coefficient of the vacuum Polarization Function and for the decoupling relation are presented.

  • Four-loop moments of the heavy quark vacuum Polarization Function in perturbative QCD
    The European Physical Journal C, 2006
    Co-Authors: K. G. Chetyrkin, J. H. Kühn, Christian Sturm
    Abstract:

    New results at four-loop order in perturbative QCD for the first two Taylor coefficients of the heavy quark vacuum Polarization Function are presented. They can be used to perform a precise determination of the charm- and bottom-quark mass. Implications for the value of the quark masses are briefly discussed.

    Nuclear Physics B - Proceedings Supplements, 2006
    Co-Authors: K. G. Chetyrkin, J. H. Kühn, Christian Sturm
    Abstract:

    The experimental measurable R -ratio can be used to perform a precise determination of the charm- and bottom-quark mass with the help of theoretical computable expansion coefficients of the vacuum Polarization Function. The four-loop contributions in perturbative QCD to the first two expansion coefficients of the vacuum Polarization Functions are presented.

  • three loop Polarization Function and cal o alpha_s 2 corrections to the production of heavy quarks
    arXiv: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology, 1996
    Co-Authors: K. G. Chetyrkin, J H Kuehn, Matthias Steinhauser
    Abstract:

    The three-loop vacuum Polarization Function $\Pi(q^2)$ induced by a massive quark is calculated. A comprehensive description of the method is presented. From the imaginary part the ${\cal O}(\alpha_s^2)$ result for the production of heavy quarks $R(s)=\sigma(e^+e^-\to \mbox{hadrons})/\sigma(e^+e^-\to \mu^+\mu^-)$ can be extracted. Explicit formulae separated into the different colour factors are given.
