Abstract

We present a concise summary of recent results for the vector correlator in massless QCD at order O(αs4){\cal O}(\alpha_s^4), with all colour factors being given for a generic colour group. As a direct consequence we arrive at: (i) the full QCD contribution to the QED β\beta--function of order α2αs4\alpha^2\, \alpha_s^4 in the MSbar- and MOM-schemes; (ii) the full five-loop result of order α6\alpha^6 for the β\beta-function of QED with a generic number of single-charged fermions, again for the MSbar- and MOM-schemes.
