Cancellation of Infrared Divergence in Inclusive Production of Heavy Quarkonia

A scheme is presented here to cancel out the topologically unfactorized infrared divergences in the inclusive production of heavy quarkonia, which affect the NRQCD factorization of these processes. The heavy quarkonia are defined as resonance states of QCD instead of color singlet heavy quark pair. Thus the final heavy quark pair is nor necessarily to be color singlet. In addition, the heavy quarkonia are reconstructed by their decay products. As the result, transition between states containing containing heavy quarks caused by exchanges of soft gluons are also taken into account here. Such cancellation is crucial for the NRQCD factorization of these processes.Comment: 17 pages, 26 figure

A method for getting a finite α\alpha in the IR region from an all-order beta function

The analytical method of QCD running coupling constant is extended to a model with an all-order beta function which is inspired by the famous Novikov-Shifman-Vai\-n\-s\-htein-Zakharov beta function of N=1 supersymmetric gau\-g\-e theories. In the approach presented here, the running coupling is determined by a transcendental equation with non-elementary integral of the running scale $\mu$. In our approach $\alpha_{an}(0)$, which reads 0.30642, does not rely on any dimensional parameters. This is in accordance with results in the literature on the analytical method of QCD running coupling constant. The new "analytically im\-p\-roved" running coupling constant is also compatible with the property of asymptotic freedom.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure

Quantization of Yang-Mills Theories without the Gribov Ambiguity

A gauge condition is presented here to quantize non-Abelian gauge theory on the manifold $R\otimes S^{1}\otimes S^{1}\otimes S^{1}$, which is free from the Gribov ambiguity. Perturbative calculations in the new gauge behave like the axial gauge in ultraviolet region, while infrared behaviours of the perturbative series are quite nontrivial. The new gauge condition, which reads $n\cdot\partial n\cdot A=0$, may not satisfy the requirement that $A^{\mu}(\infty)=0$ in conventional perturbative calculations. However, such contradiction is not harmful for gauge theories constructed on the manifold $R\otimes S^{1}\otimes S^{1}\otimes S^{1}$.Comment: 11page

Failure-informed adaptive sampling for PINNs

Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) have emerged as an effective technique for solving PDEs in a wide range of domains. It is noticed, however, the performance of PINNs can vary dramatically with different sampling procedures. For instance, a fixed set of (prior chosen) training points may fail to capture the effective solution region (especially for problems with singularities). To overcome this issue, we present in this work an adaptive strategy, termed the failure-informed PINNs (FI-PINNs), which is inspired by the viewpoint of reliability analysis. The key idea is to define an effective failure probability based on the residual, and then, with the aim of placing more samples in the failure region, the FI-PINNs employs a failure-informed enrichment technique to adaptively add new collocation points to the training set, such that the numerical accuracy is dramatically improved. In short, similar as adaptive finite element methods, the proposed FI-PINNs adopts the failure probability as the posterior error indicator to generate new training points. We prove rigorous error bounds of FI-PINNs and illustrate its performance through several problems.Comment: 21 pages, 18 figure
