The evolution of the strong coupling constant $\alpha_s$ from $M_Z$ to the GUT scale is presented, involving three-loop running and two-loop decoupling. Accordingly, the two-loop transition from the $\bar{\rm MS}$ to the $\bar{\rm DR}$…

We describe the coupling of the strong force. Denoted as $\alpha_s$, it sets the strength of that force, just as $G$ or $\alpha$ specify the strength of the gravity and electromagnetism. Its value depends on the scale at which phenomena are…
The fermion flavor $N_f$ dependence of non-perturbative solutions in the strong coupling phase of the gauge theory is reexamined based on the interrelation between the inversion method and the Schwinger-Dyson equation approach. Especially…
One interesting feature of 3d $\mathcal{N}=2$ theories is that gauge-invariant operators can decouple by strong-coupling effects, leading to emergent flavor symmetries in the IR. The details of such decoupling, however, depends very…
In order to study the running coupling in four-flavour QCD, we review the set-up of the Schr\"odinger functional (SF) with staggered quarks. Staggered quarks require lattices which, in the usual counting, have even spatial lattice extent…
The finite energy sum rule extraction of the strong coupling {\alpha}_s from hadronic {\tau} decay data provides one of its most precise experimental determinations. As precision improves, small non-perturbative effects become increasingly…
We perform the step-scaling investigation of the running coupling constant, using the gradient-flow scheme, in SU(3) gauge theory with twelve massless fermions in the fundamental representation. The Wilson plaquette gauge action and…
A physically defined QCD coupling parameter naturally incorporates massive quark flavor thresholds in a gauge invariant, renormalization scale independent and analytical way. In this paper we summarize recent results for the finite-mass…
