abstract
We present the matching condition for the strong coupling contant alpha_s at a heavy quark threshold to four loops in the modified minimal subtraction scheme. Our results lead to further decrease of the theoretical uncertainty of the evolution of the strong coupling constant through heavy quark thresholds. Using a low energy theorem we furthermore derive the effective coupling of the Higgs boson to gluons (induced by a virtual heavy quark) in four- and (partially) through five-loop approximation.

Soft contributions stabilize NNLO QCD corrections for S-wave color-singlet quarkonium processes, yielding better perturbative convergence and experimental agreement.
Fits of combined KEDR and truncated BESIII data yield α_s(M_Z)=0.1179 (NLO), 0.1221 (NNLO), 0.1313 (N3LO), with the rise attributed to π² analytic-continuation effects.
A mass-dependent renormalization scheme from dimensional regularization yields smooth threshold transitions in QCD and implements the Appelquist-Carazzone theorem by reducing to minimal subtraction at high energies.
