We present in detail a new systematic method which can be used to automatically eliminate the renormalization scheme and scale ambiguities in perturbative QCD predictions at all orders. We show that all of the nonconformal \beta-dependent…
Narison's $\tau$-decay-like sum rule for determining the strange quark mass is re-investigated, taking into account isospin-breaking corrections in the extraction of the input spectral functions from $e^+e^-\to hadrons$ data. The…
A completely non-perturbative estimate is given for the u/d and strange quark masses in quenched QCD using O(a) improved fermions and, for comparison, Wilson fermions. For improved fermions we find m_{u/d}^MSbar(\mu=2 GeV) = 4.4(2) MeV,…
The important parameter \mu_G^2 of the heavy quark expansion is analyzed including perturbative and power corrections. It is found that \mu_G^2(2GeV) is known with a few percent accuracy. The perturbative corrections are computed and found…
We study the scheme dependence of the two-loop expression for the $\rho$-parameter of the Standard Model in the heavy $t$-quark mass limit $m_{t} \gg m_{w}$. In the $\ms$-scheme the two-loop electroweak correction to the ${\cal…
A key issue in making precise predictions in perturbative QCD is the uncertainty in setting the renormalization scale. If in principle, the entire perturbative series is void of this issue, in practice the perturbative corrections are known…

We determine Lambda_msbar for QCD with n_f=2 dynamical quark flavors by fitting the Q-Q-bar static potential known analytically in the perturbative regime up to terms of O(alpha_s^4) and ~alpha_s^4 ln(alpha_s) to corresponding results…
The sum-of-squares method can give rigorous lower bounds on the energy of quantum Hamiltonians. Unfortunately, typically using this method requires solving a semidefinite program, which can be computationally expensive. Further, the…
With the increasing experimental precision available at colliders, higher-order perturbative calculations are required to reduce the theory uncertainty in order to extract crucial QCD parameters, such as the strong coupling constant, to the…
We consider the ratios of doubly heavy baryon masses using Double Ratios of Sum Rules (DRSR), which are more accurate than the usual simple ratios used for getting hadron masses. Our results are comparable with the ones from potential…
In this work, we study projection-based model order reduction (MOR) for switched linear systems (SLS) in control form, where the projection matrices are obtained from the solutions of generalized Lyapunov equations (GLEs). We investigate…
We present a new approach to determining the strong coupling $\alpha_s(Q)$, over the entire range of validity of perturbative QCD, for scales above $\Lambda_{\mathrm{QCD}}$ and up to the Planck scale $\sim1.22\cdot10^{19}$\,GeV, with the…
A general procedure is presented how to improve the effective potential by using the renormalization group equation (RGE) in MS bar scheme. If one knows the L-loop effective potential and the RGE coefficient functions up to (L+1)-loop…
We show that maximally twisted mass fermions can be employed to regularize on the lattice the fully unquenched QCD+QED theory with vanishing $\theta$-term. We discuss how the critical mass of the up and down quarks can be conveniently…

The goal of research is to devise a modification of the perturbative QCD that should be regular in the low-energy region and could serve as a practical means for the analysis of data below 1 \GeV up to the IR limit. Recent observation of…
We derive the initial condition for the perturbative fragmentation function of a heavy quark through order O(alpha_s^2) in the MS-bar scheme. This initial condition is useful for computing heavy quark (or lepton, in case of QED) energy…
