We analytically compute the five-loop term in the beta function which governs the running of $\alpha_s$ --- the quark-gluon coupling constant in QCD. The new term leads to a reduction of the theory uncertainty in $\alpha_s$ taken at the Z-boson scale as extracted from the $\tau$-lepton decays as well as to new, improved by one more order of perturbation theory, predictions for the effective coupling constants of the Standard Model Higgs boson to gluons and for its total decay rate to the quark-antiquark pairs.

  4. Hadronic tau decays at higher orders in QCD

    hep-ph 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Sequence transformations applied to the fixed-order QCD series for hadronic tau decays produce estimates c5,1 = 298 ± 15, c6,1 = 3431 ± 256, c7,1 = 2.29 ± 0.29 × 10^4 and a predicted δ^(0)_FOPT = 0.2119 ± 0.0040.

  5. Comparison of the hadronic vacuum polarization between hadronic $\tau$-decay data and lattice QCD

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Lattice QCD and tau-decay dispersive calculations of isospin-one HVP generally agree, except for a significant difference in the 2π−π+π0 four-pion mode contribution to window quantities.

  6. Smooth Threshold Effects from Dimensional Regularization

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    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.
