The momentum space subtraction (MOM) scheme is one of the most frequently used renormalization schemes in perturbative QCD (pQCD) theory. In the paper, we make a detailed discussion on the gauge dependence of the pQCD prediction under the MOM scheme. Conventionally, there is renormalization scale ambiguity for the fixed-order pQCD predictions, which assigns an arbitrary range and an arbitrary error for the fixed-order pQCD prediction. The principle of maximum conformality (PMC) adopts the renormalization group equation to determine the magnitude of the coupling constant and hence determines an effective momentum flow of the process, which is independent to the choice of renormalization scale. There is thus no renormalization scale ambiguity in PMC predictions. To concentrate our attention on the MOM gauge dependence, we first apply the PMC to deal with the pQCD series. We adopt the Higgs boson decay width, $Gamma(Hto gg)$, up to five-loop QCD contributions as an example to show how the gauge dependence behaves before and after applying the PMC. It is found that the Higgs decay width $Gamma (Hto gg)$ depends very weakly on the choices of the MOM schemes, being consistent with the renormalization group invariance. It is found that the gauge dependence of $Gamma(Hto gg)$ under the $rm{MOMgg}$ scheme is less than $pm1%$, which is the smallest gauge dependence among all the mentioned MOM schemes.

A novel, non-power, expansion of QCD quantities replacing the standard perturbative expansion in powers of the renormalized couplant a has recently been introduced and examined by two of us. Being obtained by analytic continuation in the Borel plane, the new expansion functions W_n(a) share the basic analyticity properties with the expanded quantity. In this note we investigate the renormalization scale dependence of finite order sums of this new expansion for the phenomenologically interesting case of the tau-lepton decay rate.
We introduce a new massive renormalization scheme, denoted mSMOM, as a modification of the existing RI/SMOM scheme. We use SMOM for defining renormalized fermion bilinears in QCD at non-vanishing fermion mass. This scheme has properties similar to those of the SMOM scheme, such as the use of non-exceptional symmetric momenta, while in contrast to SMOM, it defines the renormalized fields away from the chiral limit. Here we discuss some of the properties of mSMOM, and present non-perturbative arguments for deriving some renormalization constants. The results of a 1-loop calculation in dimensional regularization are briefly summarised to illustrate some properties of the scheme.
A new renormalization scheme is defined for fermion bilinears in QCD at non vanishing quark masses. This new scheme, denoted RI/mSMOM, preserves the benefits of the nonexceptional momenta introduced in the RI/SMOM scheme, and allows a definition of renormalized composite fields away from the chiral limit. Some properties of the scheme are investigated by performing explicit one-loop computation in dimensional regularization.
We extend the Rome-Southampton regularization independent momentum-subtraction renormalization scheme(RI/MOM) for bilinear operators to one with a nonexceptional, symmetric subtraction point. Two-point Greens functions with the insertion of quark bilinear operators are computed with scalar, pseudoscalar, vector, axial-vector and tensor operators at one-loop order in perturbative QCD. We call this new scheme RI/SMOM, where the S stands for symmetric. Conversion factors are derived, which connect the RI/SMOM scheme and the MSbar scheme and can be used to convert results obtained in lattice calculations into the MSbar scheme. Such a symmetric subtraction point involves nonexceptional momenta implying a lattice calculation with substantially suppressed contamination from infrared effects. Further, we find that the size of the one-loop corrections for these infrared improved kinematics is substantially decreased in the case of the pseudoscalar and scalar operator, suggesting a much better behaved perturbative series. Therefore it should allow us to reduce the error in the determination of the quark mass appreciably.
The gauge dependence in the anomalous dimension of the gauge-invariant-canonical-energy-momentum tensor for proton is studied by the background field method. The naive calculation shows the problem, the absence of the counter term in the gluonic sectors. The analysis shows that the result [Chen et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 103, 062001 (2009)] is derived from the background field method after we introduced a trick to avoid the problem except for the gluon-to-gluon sector; it is gauge dependent. The possible reason of this gauge-dependent result comes from the nontrivial treatment of the condition $F^{mu u}_{pure}=0$ at a higher order. This result shows that one needs a further improvement in treating this condition with a covariant way at a higher order by the background field method. In particular, we have to focus on two checkpoints, the gauge independence and zero eigenvalue in the anomalous-dimension matrix, in order to test the validity of the gauge-invariant-canonical-energy-momentum tensor.
