Gravitational tensor-monopole moment of the hydrogen atom to order O ( α )

We calculate the gravitational tensor-monopole moment of the momentum-current density T i j in the ground state of the hydrogen atom to order O ( α ) in quantum electrodynamics (QED). The result is τ H / τ 0 − 1 = 4 α 3 π ( ln α 2 − 0.028 ) = − 3.06 × 10 − 2 where τ 0 = ℏ 2 / 4 m e is the leading-order moment. The physics of the next-to-leading-order correction is similar to that of the famous Lamb shift for energy levels. Published by the American Physical Society 2024

Renormalon cancellation and linear power correction to threshold-like asymptotics of space-like parton correlators

Abstract In this paper, we show that the common hard kernel of double-log-type or threshold-type factorization for certain space-like parton correlators that arise in the context of lattice parton distributions, theheavy-light Sudakov hard kernel, has linear infrared (IR) renormalon. We explicitly demonstrate how this IR renormalon correlates with ultraviolet (UV) renormalons of next-to-leading power operators in two explicit examples: threshold asymptotics of space-like quark-bilinear coefficient functions and transverse momentum dependent (TMD) factorization of quasi wave function amplitude. Theoretically, the pattern of renormalon cancellation complies with general expectations to marginal asymptotics in the UV limit. Practically, this linear renormalon explains the slow convergence of imaginary parts observed in lattice extraction of the Collins-Soper kernel and signals the relevance of next-to-leading power contributions. Fully factorized, fully controlled threshold asymptotic expansion for space-like quark-bilinear coefficient functions in coordinate and moment space has also been proposed.
