We review the technique of calculation of operator expansion coefficients. The main emphasis is put on gluon operators which appear in expansion of n‐point functions induced by colourless quark currents. Two convenient schemes are discussed in detail: the abstract operator method and the method based on the Fock‐Schwinger gauge for the vacuum gluon field. We consider a large number of instructive examples important from the point of view of physical applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
