Abstract

In this talk, I review the determinations of the QCD condensates and αs\alpha_s within the SVZ expansion using the ratio of Laplace sum rule (LSR) and τ\tau-like moments in e+eI=1e^+e^-\to I=1 Hadrons and in τντ+\tau\to \nu_\tau+Hadrons Axial-vector (A) and V-A channels. Some misprints in the original papers [1-3] have been corrected. We found that the value of the gluon condensate agrees with the one αsG2=(6.35±0.35)×102\langle \alpha_s G^2\rangle=(6.35\pm 0.35)\times 10^{-2} GeV4^4 from quarkonia and some other sum rules but less accurate, while the factorization of the four-quark condensate is violated by a factor about 6: ρψˉψ2=(5.98±0.64)×104\rho\langle\bar\psi\psi\rangle^2=(5.98\pm 0.64)\times 10^{-4} GeV6^6 which confirms previous findings. Extracting the QCD condensates up to dimension D=20 from e+ee^+e^- and the axial-vector channel of τ\tau-decay, we do not find any exponential growth of their values in the Euclidian region, thus excluding (by duality) any significant effect of the so-called Duality Violation (DV) in the Time-like one. The optimal values of αs(Mτ)\alpha_s(M_\tau) from e+ee^+e^-\to Hadrons and τ\tau-decays agree each others and lead to the average: αs(Mτ)=0.3128(51)\alpha_s(M_\tau)=0.3128(51) [resp.0.3330(57)] αs(MZ)=0.1176 \longrightarrow \alpha_s(M_Z) = 0.1176 [resp. 0.1201] (7)fit(3)evol.(7)_{fit}(3)_{evol.} for Fixed Order (FO) [resp. Contour improved (CI)] PT series to be compared with the PDG24 average (without Lattice calculations): αs(MZ)=0.1175(10) \alpha_s(M_Z) = 0.1175(10).
