We verify a method which allows to obtain the $\beta$-function of supersymmetric theories regularized by higher covariant derivatives by calculating only specially modified vacuum supergraphs. With the help of this method for a general…
We review the determinations of the QCD coupling $\alpha_s$ from the inclusive and exclusive modes of $\tau$-decays. The most recent $\tau$-data provide the average value $ \alpha_ s \left(M^2_\tau \right)\simeq 0.347\pm 0.030 $…

The strong coupling $\alpha_s$ is determined with high precision from fits to lattice QCD simulations on the static energy. Our theoretical setup relies on R-improving the three-loop fixed-order prediction for the static energy by removing…
The $b\bar b$ spectrum is calculated with the use of a relativistic Hamiltonian where the gluon-exchange between a quark and an antiquark is taken as in background perturbation theory. We observed that the splittings $\Delta_1=…
The hadronic decays of the tau lepton can be used to determine the effective charge alpha_tau(m^2_tau') for a hypothetical tau-lepton with mass in the range 0 < m_tau' < m_tau. This definition provides a fundamental definition of the QCD…

We compute the decoupling function of the MSbar renormalized fine-structure constant up to four-loop order in perturbative QCD. The results are used in order to determine the related top-quark contributions to the Higgs-boson decay into two…
We use a covariant supermultiplet theory to determine the primary coupling constant associated with several types of two-body meson decay. Despite the diverse range of decays considered the primary coupling constant is surprisingly uniform.…
