Renormalons as dilatation modes in the functional space
Abstract
Description
There are two sources of the factorial large-order behavior of a typical perturbative series. First, the number of the different Feynman diagrams may be large; second, there are abnormally large diagrams known as renormalons. It is well known that the large combinatorial number of diagrams is described by instanton-type solutions of the classical equations. We demonstrate that from the functional-integral viewpoint the renormalons do not correspond to a particular configuration but manifest themselves as dilatation modes in the functional space.
