Abstract: We study the infrared renormalon in the gluon condensate in the SU(N) gauge theory with nW-flavor adjoint Weyl fermions (QCD(adj.)) on~mathbbR3imesS1 with the mathbbZN twisted boundary conditions. We rely on the so-called large- approximation as a conventional tool to analyze the renormalon, in which only Feynman diagrams that dominate in the large-nW limit are considered while the coefficient of the vacuum polarization is set by hand to the one-loop beta function~. In the large~N limit within the large- approximation, the W-boson, which acquires the twisted Kaluza--Klein momentum, produces the renormalon ambiguity corresponding to the Borel singularity at~u=2. This provides an example that the system in the compactified space~mathbbR3imesS1 possesses the renormalon ambiguity identical to that in the uncompactified space~mathbbR4. We also discuss the subtle issue that the location of the Borel singularity can change depending on the order of two necessary operations.
