Abstract

We discuss the determination of the heavy charm- and bottom-quark masses from the sum rule approach as well as the determination of the strong coupling constant from the measurable R-ratio, hadronic τ-lepton decays and Z-boson decays. From theory side these determinations require the calculation of the vacuum polarization function in the low- and high-energy limit, respectively.
