Description

Modifications of the QCD perturbative expansions by the subtraction of the dominant infrared renormalon have been proposed recently as attempts to solve the longstanding discrepancy between fixed-order and contour-improved perturbation theory for the hadronic τ decays. In this approach, the modified perturbative series is supplemented by a modified gluon condensate in the operator product expansion of the Adler function. Motivated by these works, we revisited recently a formulation of the QCD perturbation theory, proposed some time ago, which takes into account the renormalons by means of the conformal mapping of the Borel plane. One expects that the modified perturbative series obtained in this framework should be accompanied by modified power-suppressed nonperturbative corrections. However, in the previous studies the focus was on the perturbative series and the question of the possible power corrections has not been considered. In the present paper, we investigate for the first time this problem. Using techniques from the mathematical resurgence theory, we derive the expression of the dominant power correction to the perturbative series obtained by conformal mapping of the Borel plane, and discuss its implications for phenomenological applications.
