In the framework of the analytic approach to Quantum Chromodynamics a new model for the strong running coupling has recently been developed. Its underlying idea is to impose the analyticity requirement on the perturbative expansion of the…
In contrast to perturbative QCD, the analytic QCD models have running coupling whose analytic properties correctly mirror those of spacelike observables. The discontinuity (spectral) function of such running coupling is expected to agree…
A technique called analytic perturbation theory, which respects the required analytic properties, consistent with causality, is applied to the definition of the running coupling in the timelike region, to the description of inclusive…
We discuss the new model expression $\bar{\alpha}_{an}(Q^2)$ recently obtained for the QCD running coupling with a regular ghost-free behavior in the "low $Q^2$" region. Being deduced from the standard "asymptotic-freedom" expression by…

The QCD analytic running coupling alpha_{an} which has no nonphysical singularities for all Q^2>0 is considered for the initial perturbation theory approximations up to four loop order. The finiteness of the analytic coupling at zero is…
Analytic versions of QCD are those whose coupling alpha_s(Q^2) does not have the unphysical Landau singularities on the space-like axis (-q^2=Q^2 > 0). The coupling is analytic in the entire complex plane except the time-like axis (Q^2 <…
The renormalization group applied to perturbation theory is ordinarily used to define the running coupling constant in the spacelike region. However, to describe processes with timelike momenta transfers, it is important to have a…
Based on a study of the analytic running coupling obtained from the standard perturbation theory results up to four-loop order, the QCD ``synthetic'' running coupling \alpha_{syn} is built. In so doing the perturbative time-like…
We discuss the model $\bar{\alpha}_{an}(Q^2)$ recently proposed for the QCD running coupling $\bar{\alpha}_s(Q^2)$ in the Euclidean domain on the basis of the "asymptotic-freedom" expression and on causality condition in the form of the…
Analytic QCD models are those where the QCD running coupling has the physically correct analytic behavior, i.e., no Landau singularities in the Euclidean regime. We present a simple analytic QCD model in which the discontinuity function of…
We try to review the main current ideas and points of view on the running coupling constant in QCD. We begin by recalling briefly the classic analysis based on the Renormalization Group with some emphasis on the exact solutions of the RG…
We propose a new method to compute the running coupling constant of gauge theories on the lattice. We first give the definition of the running coupling in the new scheme using the Wilson loops in a finite volume, and explain how the running…

Newer lattice results indicate that, in the Landau gauge at low spacelike momenta, the gluon propagator and the ghost dressing function are finite nonzero. This leads to a definition of the QCD running coupling, in a specific scheme, that…
By using a non-perturbative expansion and the dispersion relation for the Adler $D$--function we propose a new method for constructing the QCD effective coupling constant in the timelike region.
