Scale-invariant asymptotic (automodel) behavior in quantum field theory

We summarize the results of our 40-year investigations of scale-invariant (automodel) behavior of form factors in hadron-lepton deep-inelastic scattering processes at high energies and large transferred momenta within the Bogoliubov axiomatics of quantum field theory. This approach was conducive to the emergence of the notion of quark color in quantum chromodynamics.
