The authors' main claim In this paper we connect all these scales to the vacuum condensate, using the field correlator method, where the string tension is expressed in terms of nonlocal field correlators, which are connected to the local condensates, while the perturbative $\Lambda_V$ is connected to $\sigma$ in the framework of the Background Perturbation Theory (BPT).

There are several scales in the QCD as the theory of strong interaction: the vacuum gluonic condensate (as the divergence of the dilatation current), the nucleon mass as the basic mass scale in our universe, which is connected to the string tension $\sigma$, and the perturbative QCD scale $\Lambda_{\rm QCD}$, which defines the scale of the renormalized perturbative expansions. In this paper we connect all these scales to the vacuum condensate, using the field correlator method, where the string tension is expressed in terms of nonlocal field correlators, which are connected to the local condensates, while the perturbative $\Lambda_V$ is connected to $\sigma$ in the framework of the Background Perturbation Theory (BPT). We also demonstrate how the IR singularities and IR renormalons disappear in BPT making the resulting theory internally consistent.

Original abstract
There are several scales in the QCD as the theory of strong interaction: the vacuum gluonic condensate (as the divergence of the dilatation current), the nucleon mass as the basic mass scale in our universe, which is connected to the string tension $\sigma$, and the perturbative QCD scale $\Lambda_{\rm QCD}$, which defines the scale of the renormalized perturbative expansions. In this paper we connect all these scales to the vacuum condensate, using the field correlator method, where the string tension is expressed in terms of nonlocal field correlators, which are connected to the local condensates, while the perturbative $\Lambda_V$ is connected to $\sigma$ in the framework of the Background Perturbation Theory (BPT). We also demonstrate how the IR singularities and IR renormalons disappear in BPT making the resulting theory internally consistent.
