We present the analytical calculation of the four-loop quark mass anomalous dimension in Quantum Chromodynamics within the minimal subtraction scheme. On the basis of this result we find that the so-called invariant quark mass is a very good reference mass for the accurate evolution of the running MS-bar quark mass in phenomenological applications. We also obtain for the first time a complete 4-th order perturbative QCD expression for a physical quantity, the total Higgs boson decay rate into hadrons, and analyze the infrared fixed point for this case.

  1. Bare effective potential and Goldstone boson anti-resummation

    hep-ph 2026-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Treating Goldstone-boson squared masses as interaction vertices instead of propagator masses eliminates spurious infrared logarithms and imaginary parts, giving a consistent three-loop tadpole-free effective potential...

  2. Three-loop corrections to the Fermi decay constant in the $\overline{\rm{MS}}$ scheme

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The leading three-loop corrections to the Fermi decay constant in the pure MS scheme are computed, shifting the Standard Model Higgs VEV down by about 3.5 MeV and cutting residual scale dependence to below 2e-6.

  3. A new approach to quark mass determination using the gradient flow

    hep-lat 2025-06 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The MS quark mass can be extracted by matching lattice data to ratios of flowed quark bilinear VEVs, and this paper provides the required next-to-leading-order expressions with full mass dependence.

  4. The structure of quark mass corrections in the $gg \rightarrow HH$ amplitude at high-energy

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The leading-power mass logarithms in high-energy gg to HH are shown to originate solely from top-quark mass renormalization, enabling a resummation that sharply reduces the mass-scheme uncertainty of the virtual amplitude.

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Belle-II's B→Kνν excess cannot be explained by dimension-7 lepton-number-violating SMEFT operators without fine-tuning neutrino masses, while a light sterile-neutrino extension can, with testable decay spectra.
