Renormalization of twist-two operators and four-loop splitting functions in QCD
Tongzhi Yang
Abstract:The scale evolution of parton distribution functions is governed by the splitting functions. One of the most efficient methods is to extract splitting functions via the computations of off-shell operator matrix elements, where the physical twist-two operators mix with some unknown gaugevariant operators. We proposed a new method to systematically extract the counterterm Feynman rules resulting from those gauge-variant operators. As a first application of the new method, we rederived the three-loop singlet unpo… Show more
