Operator mixing in massless QCD-like theories and Poincare'-Dulac theorem

Abstract

Recently, a geometric approach to operator mixing in massless QCD-like theories -- that involves canonical forms based on the Poincare'-Dulac theorem for the linear system that defines the renormalized mixing matrix in the coordinate representation $Z(x,\mu )$ -- has been advocated in arXiv:2103.15527 . As a consequence, a classification of operator mixing in four cases -- depending on the canonical forms of $-\frac{\gamma (g)}{\beta (g)}$, with $\gamma (g)={\gamma }_0{g}^2+\cdots$ the matrix of the anomalous dimensions and $\beta (g)=-{\beta }_0{g}^3+\cdots$ the beta function -- has been proposed: (I) nonresonant $\frac{{\gamma }_0}{{\beta }_0}$ diagonalizable, (II) resonant $\frac{{\gamma }_0}{{\beta }_0}$ diagonalizable, (III) nonresonant $\frac{{\gamma }_0}{{\beta }_0}$ nondiagonalizable, (IV) resonant $\frac{{\gamma }_0}{{\beta }_0}$ nondiagonalizable. In particular, in arXiv:2103.15527 a detailed analysis of the case (I) -- where operator mixing reduces to all orders of perturbation theory to the multiplicatively renormalizable case -- has been provided. In the present paper, following the aforementioned approach, we work out in the remaining three cases the canonical forms for $-\frac{\gamma (g)}{\beta (g)}$ to all orders of perturbation theory, the corresponding UV asymptotics of $Z(x,\mu )$, and the physics interpretation. We also work out in detail physical realizations of the cases (I) and (II).
