Abstract

The dispersive approach to QCD is briefly overviewed and its application to the assessment of hadronic contributions to electroweak observables is discussed.

Highlights

  • A certain nonperturbative hint about the strong interactions in the infrared domain is provided by the relevant dispersion relations

  • The dispersion relations render the kinematic restrictions on pertinent physical processes into the mathematical form and thereby impose stringent intrinsically nonperturbative constraints on the relevant quantities

  • The dispersive approach to QCD [56,57,58] merges the aforementioned nonperturbative constraints with corresponding perturbative input and provides the following unified integral representations for the functions on hand:

Summary

Introduction

A certain nonperturbative hint about the strong interactions in the infrared domain is provided by the relevant dispersion relations. The latter are widely employed in a variety of issues of contemporary theoretical particle physics, such as, for example, the extension of applicability range of chiral perturbation theory [34, 35], the precise determination of parameters of resonances [36], the assessment of the hadronic light–by–light scattering [37], and many others (see, e.g., papers [38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54] and references therein). [59, 60]) merges the aforementioned nonperturbative constraints with corresponding perturbative input and provides the following unified integral representations for the functions on hand:
