We present the results for three-loop gauge field anomalous dimensions in the SM calculated in the background field gauge within the unbroken phase of the model. The results are valid for the general background field gauge parameterized by…
The renormalization-scale ($\mu$) dependence of the two-loop inclusive semileptonic $b\to c\ell^-\bar\nu_\ell$ decay rate is shown to be significant in the pole mass scheme, and the decay rate is shown to be poorly convergent in the MS-bar…
Since three-loop and higher-loop terms in the $\beta$ function of a gauge theory are scheme-dependent, one can, at least for sufficiently small coupling, carry out a scheme transformation that removes these terms. A basic question concerns…
Results are presented for the momentum dependent two-loop contributions of O(alpha_t alpha_s) to the masses and mixing effects in the Higgs sector of the MSSM. They are obtained in the Feynman-diagrammatic approach using a mixed…

The a-function is a proposed quantity defined in even dimensions which has a monotonic behaviour along RG flows, related to the beta-functions via a gradient flow equation. We study the a-function for a general scalar theory in six…
Extending earlier work, we find the two-loop term in the beta-function for the scalar coupling $\zeta$ in a generalized Wilson loop operator of the $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM theory, working in the planar weak-coupling expansion. The beta-function…
We update our approximate parametrizations of the three-loop splitting functions for the evolution of unpolarized parton densities in perturbative QCD. The new information taken into account is given by the additional Mellin moments…
Starting from a consistency requirement between T-duality symmetry and renormalization group flows, the two-loop metric beta function is found for a d=2 bosonic sigma model on a generic, torsionless background. The result is obtained…
The resummation of soft gluon exchange for QCD hard scattering requires a matrix of anomalous dimensions, which has been computed through two loops. The two-loop matrix is proportional to the one-loop matrix. Recently there have been…
