Abstract

This work is devoted to the study of the {β}\{\beta\}-expansion of the perturbative expressions for the e+ee^+e^- annihilation Adler function D(Q2)D(Q^2) and for the related renormalization group functions, namely for the photon vacuum polarization function and its anomalous dimension γ(αs)\gamma(\alpha_s) in QCD at the O(αs4)\mathcal{O}(\alpha^4_s) order. We emphasize that γ(αs)\gamma(\alpha_s) is not a conformal-invariant contribution to D(Q2)D(Q^2) and, therefore, for a consistent analysis it is necessary to decompose its higher-order PT coefficients in powers of the β\beta-function coefficients in the same way as for the Adler function. The arguments in favor of this statement are given. The comparison of the MS\overline{MS} and PMC/BLM approximants are demonstrated.Theoretical and phenomenologically related consequences of this comparison are briefly commented.
