Abstract
One-point correlators of conserved charges are argued to be perturbatively IR safe in quantum chromodynamics (QCD), which includes not only the density of energy, but also those of electric charge, isospin, and baryon number. Theoretical and phenomenological aspects of the density matrix of one-point correlators are discussed in the context of the states produced by a chiral current, as in the decay of a polarized electroweak boson. Densities of some nonconserved charges such as energy with arbitrary non-negative powers, despite their incalculability, are shown to obey an infinite set of consistency constraints. QCD is observed to live near a kink in the allowed parameter space of one-point correlators. Published by the American Physical Society2025
