Renormalons and Analytic Properties of the β function
Abstract
The presence or absense of renormalon singularities in the Borel plane is shown to be determined by the analytic properties of the Gell-Mann - Low function β(g) and some other functions. A constructive criterion for the absense of singularities consists in the proper behavior of the β function and its Borel image B(z) at infinity, β(g) gα and B(z) zα with α 1. This criterion is probably fulfilled for the φ4 theory, QED and QCD, but is violated in the O(n)-symmetric sigma model with n∞.
