The Lagrangian of Quantum Chromodynamics is invariant under conformal transformations. Although this symmetry is broken by quantum corrections, it has important consequences for strong interactions at short distances and provides one with powerful tools in practical calculations. In this review we give a short exposition of the relevant ideas, techniques and applications of conformal symmetry to various problems of interest.

  1. The OPE Approach to Renormalization: Operator Mixing

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    OPE-based recursive renormalization for mixed composite operators gives five-loop anomalous dimensions in phi^4 and two-loop in phi^3 models.

  2. Improved Standard-Model predictions for $\eta^{(\prime)}\to \ell^+ \ell^-$

    hep-ph 2025-12 accept novelty 5.0

    Updated SM predictions yield Br(η→e⁺e⁻)=5.37(4)(2)[4]×10⁻⁹, Br(η→μ⁺μ⁻)=4.54(4)(2)[4]×10⁻⁶, Br(η'→e⁺e⁻)=1.80(2)(3)[3]×10⁻¹⁰, and Br(η'→μ⁺μ⁻)=1.22(2)(2)[3]×10⁻⁷, with a mild 1.6σ tension in the η→μ⁺μ⁻ channel.
