Perturbative QCD in mass independent schemes leads in general to running coupling $a(Q^2)$ which is nonanalytic (nonholomorphic) in the regime of low spacelike momenta $|Q^2| \lesssim 1 \ {\rm GeV}^2$. Such (Landau) singularities are…
Recently-developed variational perturbation expansions converge exponentially fast for positive coupling constants. They do not, however, possess the correct left-hand cut in the complex coupling constant plane, implying a wrong large-order…
