Under renormalization, these mix with gauge-variant operators of the same quantum numbers, referred to as alien operators. Our work addresses the systematic study of these alien operators at arbitrary spin N, using generalized BRST symmetry relations to derive their couplings and Feynman rules at all values of N. We observe how the all-N structure of the generalized (anti-)BRST constraints relates the couplings of alien operators with n + 1 gluons to those with n gluons. Realizing a bootstrap, we present all one-loop results necessary for performing the operator renormalization up to four loops in QCD.
