Abstract

We construct a QCD coupling A(Q2){\mathcal{A}}(Q^2) in the Effective Charge (ECH) scheme of the canonical part d(Q2)d(Q^2) of the (inelastic) polarised Bjorken Sum Rule (BSR) Γ1pn(Q2){\overline \Gamma}_1^{{\rm p-n}}(Q^2). In the perturbative domain, the coupling A(Q2){\mathcal{A}}(Q^2) practically coincides with the perturbative coupling a(Q2)a(Q^2) [αs(Q2)/π\equiv \alpha_s(Q^2)/\pi] in the four-loop ECH renormalisation scheme. In the deep infrared (IR) regime, A(Q2){\mathcal{A}}(Q^2) behaves as suggested by the Holographic Light-Front QCD up to the second derivative. Furthermore, in contrast to its perturbative counterpart a(Q2)a(Q^2), the coupling A(Q2){\mathcal{A}}(Q^2) is holomorphic in the entire complex Q2Q^2-plane with the exception of the negative semiaxis, reflecting the holomorphic properties of the BSR observable d(Q2)d(Q^2) [or: Γ1pn(Q2){\overline \Gamma}_1^{{\rm p-n}}(Q^2)] as dictated by the general principles of the Quantum Field Theory. It turns out that the obtained coupling, used as ECH, reproduces quite well the experimental data for Γ1pn(Q2){\overline \Gamma}_1^{{\rm p-n}}(Q^2) in the entire Nf=3N_f=3 regime 0<Q25 GeV20 < Q^2 \lesssim 5 \ {\rm GeV}^2.
