In the paper, we study the properties of the top-quark $overline{rm MS}$ running mass computed from its on-shell mass by using both the four-loop $overline{rm MS}$-on-shell relation and the principle of maximum conformality (PMC) scale-setting approach. The PMC adopts the renormalization group equation to set the correct magnitude of the strong running coupling of the perturbative series, its prediction avoids the conventional renormalization scale ambiguity, and thus a more precise pQCD prediction can be achieved. After applying the PMC to the four-loop $overline{rm MS}$-on-shell relation and taking the top-quark on-shell mass $M_t=172.9pm0.4$ GeV as an input, we obtain the renormalization scale-invariant $overline{rm MS}$ running mass at the scale $m_t$, e.g., $m_t(m_t)simeq 162.6pm 0.4$ GeV, in which the error is the squared average of those from $Delta alpha_s(M_Z)$, $Delta M_t$, and the approximate error from the uncalculated five-loop terms predicted by using the Pad{e} approximation approach.

We consider the effects of quark masses to the perturbative thrust in $e^+e^-$ annihilation. In particular we show that perturbative power corrections resulting from non-zero quark masses considerably alters the size of the non-perturbative power cor rections and consequently, significantly changes the fitted value of $alpha_s$.
We investigate the invariant-mass distribution of top-quark pairs near the $2m_t$ threshold, which has strong impact on the determination of the top-quark mass $m_t$. We show that higher-order non-relativistic corrections lead to large contributions which are not included in the state-of-the-art theoretical predictions. We derive a factorization formula to resum such corrections to all orders in the strong-coupling, and calculate necessary ingredients to perform the resummation at next-to-leading power. We combine the resummation with fixed-order results and present phenomenologically relevant numeric results. We find that the resummation effect significantly enhances the differential cross section in the threshold region, and makes the theoretical prediction more compatible with experimental data. We estimate that using our prediction in the determination of $m_t$ will lead to a value closer to the result of direct measurement.
We determine to order alpha^3 the so-called residual mass in the lattice regularisation of the Heavy Quark Effective Theory for Nf=2. Our (gauge-invariant) strategy makes use of Numerical Stochastic Perturbation Theory to compute the static interquar k potential where the above mentioned mass term appears as an additive contribution. We discuss how the new coefficient we compute in the expansion of the residual mass can improve the determination of the (MS bar) mass of the b-quark from lattice simulations of the Heavy Quark Effective Theory.
The ALPHA collaboration aims to determine $alpha_s(m_Z)$ with a total error below the percent level. A further step towards this goal can be taken by combining results from the recent simulations of 2+1-flavour QCD by the CLS initiative with a number of tools developed over the years: renormalized couplings in finite volume schemes, recursive finite size techniques, two-loop renormalized perturbation theory and the (improved) gradient flow on the lattice. We sketch the strategy, which involves both the standard SF coupling in the high energy regime and a gradient flow coupling at low energies. This implies the need for matching both schemes at an intermediate switching scale, $L_{rm swi}$, which we choose roughly in the range 2-4 GeV. In this contribution we present a preliminary result for this matching procedure, and we then focus on our almost final results for the scale evolution of the SF coupling from $L_{rm swi}$ towards the perturbative regime, where we extract the $N_{rm f} = 3$ ${Lambda}$-parameter, ${Lambda}_{overline{rm MS}}^{N_{rm f}=3}$, in units of $L_{rm swi}$ . Connecting $L_{rm swi}$ and thus the ${Lambda}$-parameter to a hadronic scale such as $F_K$ requires 2 further ingredients: first, the connection of $L_{rm swi}$ to $L_{rm max}$ using a few steps with the step-scaling function of the gradient flow coupling, and, second, the continuum extrapolation of $L_{rm max} F_K$.
The next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) pQCD prediction for the $gammagamma^* to eta_c$ form factor was evaluated in 2015 using nonrelativistic QCD (NRQCD). A strong discrepancy between the NRQCD prediction and the BaBar measurements was observed. U ntil now there has been no solution for this puzzle. In this paper, we present a NNLO analysis by applying the Principle of Maximum Conformality (PMC) to set the renormalization scale. By carefully dealing with the light-by-light diagrams at the NNLO level, the resulting high precision PMC prediction agrees with the BaBar measurements within errors, and the conventional renormalization scale uncertainty is eliminated. The PMC is consistent with all of the requirements of the renormalization group, including scheme-independence. The application of the PMC thus provides a rigorous solution for the $gammagamma^* to eta_c$ form factor puzzle, emphasizing the importance of correct renormalization scale-setting. The results also support the applicability of NRQCD to hard exclusive processes involving charmonium.
