In the 2D large-N O(N) quartic model, the large-momentum OPE of the scalar two-point function is divergent: coefficient functions and operator condensates carry n! factorial growths that cancel only off-diagonally, never within a fixed power.

abstract
The resummed Drell-Yan cross section in the double-logarithmic approximation suffers from infrared renormalons. Their presence was interpreted as an indication for non-perturbative corrections of order $\lqcd/(Q(1-z))$. We find that, once soft gluon emission is accurately taken into account, the leading renormalon divergence in the resummed cross section is cancelled by higher-order perturbative contributions in the exponent of the resummed cross section. From this evidence, `higher twist' corrections to the hard cross section in Drell-Yan production should therefore intervene only at order $\lqcd^2/((Q^2 (1-z)^2)$ in the entire perturbative domain $Q (1-z) > \lqcd$. We compare this result with hadronic event shape variables, comment on the potential universality of non-perturbative corrections to resummed cross sections, and on possible implications for phenomenology.

Renormalon-like factorial enhancements to power expansion/OPE in a super-renormalizable 2D $O(N)$ quartic model
In the 2D large-N O(N) quartic model, the large-momentum OPE of the scalar two-point function is divergent: coefficient functions and operator condensates carry n! factorial growths that cancel only off-diagonally, never within a fixed power.
