Perturbative calculations of the static QCD potential have the $u=3/2$ renormalon uncertainty. In the multipole expansion performed within pNRQCD, this uncertainty at LO is known to get canceled against the ultrasoft correction at NLO. To investigate the net contribution remaining after this renormalon cancellation, we propose a formulation to separate the ultrasoft correction into renormalon uncertainties and a renormalon independent part. We focus on very short distances $Lambda_{rm QCD} r lesssim 0.1$ and investigate the ultrasoft correction based on its perturbative evaluation in the large-$beta_0$ approximation. We also propose a method to examine the local gluon condensate, which appears as the first nonperturbative effect to the static QCD potential, without suffering from the $u=2$ renormalon.

We determine the strong coupling constant $alpha_s(M_Z)$ from the static QCD potential by matching a lattice result and a theoretical calculation. We use a new theoretical framework based on operator product expansion (OPE), where renormalons are subtracted from the leading Wilson coefficient. We find that our OPE prediction can explain the lattice data at $Lambda_{rm QCD} r lesssim 0.8$. This allows us to use a larger window in matching, which leads to a more reliable determination. We obtain $alpha_s(M_Z)=0.1179^{+0.0015}_{-0.0014}$.
We determine the strong coupling constant $alpha_s$ from the static QCD potential by matching a theoretical calculation with a lattice QCD computation. We employ a new theoretical formulation based on the operator product expansion, in which renormalons are subtracted from the leading Wilson coefficient. We remove not only the leading renormalon uncertainty of $mathcal{O}(Lambda_{rm QCD})$ but also the first $r$-dependent uncertainty of $mathcal{O}(Lambda_{rm QCD}^3 r^2)$. The theoretical prediction for the potential turns out to be valid at the static color charge distance $Lambda_{rm overline{MS}} r lesssim 0.8$ ($r lesssim 0.4$ fm), which is significantly larger than ordinary perturbation theory. With lattice data down to $Lambda_{rm overline{MS}} r sim 0.09$ ($r sim 0.05$ fm), we perform the matching in a wide region of $r$, which has been difficult in previous determinations of $alpha_s$ from the potential. Our final result is $alpha_s(M_Z^2) = 0.1179^{+0.0015}_{-0.0014}$ with 1.3 % accuracy. The dominant uncertainty comes from higher order corrections to the perturbative prediction and can be straightforwardly reduced by simulating finer lattices.
Following the procedure and motivations developed by Richardson, Buchmuller and Tye, we derive the potential of static quarks consistent with both the three-loop running of QCD coupling constant under the two-loop perturbative matching of V and MS-bar schemes and the confinement regime at long distances. Implications for the heavy quark masses as well as the quarkonium spectra and leptonic widths are discussed.
We derive a static potential for a heavy quark-antiquark pair propagating in Minkowski time at finite temperature, by defining a suitable gauge-invariant Greens function and computing it to first non-trivial order in Hard Thermal Loop resummed perturbation theory. The resulting Debye-screened potential could be used in models that attempt to describe the ``melting of heavy quarkonium at high temperatures. We show, in particular, that the potential develops an imaginary part, implying that thermal effects generate a finite width for the quarkonium peak in the dilepton production rate. For quarkonium with a very heavy constituent mass M, the width can be ignored for T lsim g^2 M/12pi, where g^2 is the strong gauge coupling; for a physical case like bottomonium, it could become important at temperatures as low as 250 MeV. Finally, we point out that the physics related to the finite width originates from the Landau-damping of low-frequency gauge fields, and could be studied non-perturbatively by making use of the classical approximation.
We report results on the static quark potential in two-flavor full QCD. The calculation is performed for three values of lattice spacing $a^{-1}approx 0.9, 1.3$ and 2.5 GeV on $12^3{times}24, 16^3{times}32$ and $24^3{times}48$ lattices respectively, at sea quark masses corresponding to $m_pi/m_rho approx 0.8-0.6$. An RG-improved gauge action and a tadpole-improved SW clover quark action are employed. We discuss scaling of $m_{rho}/sqrt{sigma}$ and effects of dynamical quarks on the potential.
