We present the results of analytical calculations of the 3-loop contributions to the asymptotic photon vacuum polarization function, in the on shell scheme, and of the 4-loop contributions to the on shell QED beta-function. These are used…
It has been shown that the one-loop behavior of the axial anomaly, occurring when the axial current is appropriately normalized, leads to the cancellation of the corrections of type $C_F^N{\bar \alpha}_s^N,~~ (N\geq 1) $ in the Crewther…

We present two variants of an approach for evaluation of observables in analytic QCD models. The approach is motivated by the skeleton expansion in a certain class of schemes. We then evaluate the Adler function at low energies in one…
It is shown that the existing four-loop result for the Bjorken polarized sum rule for deep inelastic electron-nucleon scattering obtained within perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics should be supplemented by the calculation of the diagrams…
The generalized Crewther relation relates the cross section ratio $R=\sigma(e^+e^- \to {\rm hadrons})/\sigma(e^+e^- \to {\mu}^+ {\mu}^-)$ in $e^+e^-$ annihilation with the Bjorken sum rule or the Gross-Llewellyn Smith sum rule in deep…

The determination of twist-4 corrections to the structure functions of polarized $e(\mu)N$ scattering by QCD sum rules is reviewed and critically analyzed. It is found that in the case of the Bjorken sum rule the twist-4 correction is small…
