The Adler function D is found {\em exactly} in supersymmetric QCD. Our exact formula relates D(Q^2) to the anomalous dimension of the matter superfields \gamma (\alpha_s(Q^2)). En rout we prove another theorem: the absence of the so-called…

The three-loop Adler $D$-function for ${\cal N}=1$ SQCD in the $\overline{\mbox{DR}}$ scheme is calculated. It appears that the result does not satisfy NSVZ-like equation which relates the $D$-function to the anomalous dimension of the…
In ${\cal N}=1$ supersymmetric QCD-like theories we derive the (all-order) exact equations relating the renormalization group behaviour of the strong and electromagnetic couplings and prove that they are valid in the HD+MSL renormalization…
We calculate the three-loop Adler $D$-function of ${\cal N}=1$ SQCD regularized by higher covariant derivatives and find the subtraction scheme in which the exact NSVZ-like relation for this function that was recently proposed is valid.

The present calculations in perturbative QCD reach the order $\alpha_s^4$ for several correlators calculated to five loops, and the huge computational difficulties make unlikely the full six-loop calculation in the near future. This…
