The strong coupling constant is the least known of the coupling constants in the standard model. Nevertheless it appears in the calculations of cross sections of all the processes at the LHC. We present a review of the strong coupling…

On the basis of allowed local gauge symmetries, the QCD Lagrangian admits a CP-violating term proportional to the topological charge density, commonly referred to as the $\theta$ term. A priori, any value of $\theta$ is consistent with the…

Since 1995, LEP has steadily increased the center of mass energy of the colliding beams, from the M_Z resonance to 133, 161 and 172 GeV. New measurements of the strong coupling constant, alpha_s, at these energies have been performed by the…

We present an analysis of the role of the running coupling constant at the intersection of perturbative and nonperturbative QCD. Although the approaches that have been considered so far in these two regimes appear to be complementary to…

We construct the six dimensional Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) Lagrangian in a linear covariant gauge and subsequently renormalize it at two loops in the MSbar scheme. The coupling constant corresponding to the gauge interaction is…

Let $\Omega$ be a pseudoconvex domain in $\mathbb C^n$ satisfying an $f$-property for some function $f$. We show that the Bergman metric associated to $\Omega$ has the lower bound $\tilde g(\delta_\Omega(z)^{-1})$ where $\delta_\Omega(z)$…

We deduce the gluino contribution to the three-loop QCD \beta function within the minimal supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) from its standard QCD expression. The result is a first step in the computation of the full MSSM three-loop \beta…

We present a strong coupling dynamical theory of the superconducting transition in a metal near a QCP towards $Q = 0$ nematic order. We use a fermion-boson model, in which we treat the ratio of effective boson-fermion coupling and the Fermi…

The recent calculation of the four-loop beta function in QCD provides further evidence that the Banks-Zaks expansion in 16half-n_f is sufficiently well behaved to be useful even for n_f=2 light flavours. This expansion inherently predicts…
