Two-Loop Ultrasoft Running of the O(v^2) QCD Quark Potentials
The two-loop ultrasoft contributions to the next-to-leading logarithmic (NLL)
running of the QCD potentials at order v^2 are determined. The results
represent an important step towards the next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic
(NNLL) description of heavy quark pair production and annihilation close to
threshold.Comment: 13 pages, 3 figures; typos corrected, reference added, information on

Light Quark Mass Effects in Bottom Quark Mass Determinations
Recent results for charm quark mass effects in perturbative bottom quark mass
determinations from mesons are reviewed. The connection between the
behavior of light quark mass corrections and the infrared sensitivity of some
bottom quark mass definitions is examined in some detail.Comment: Invited talk presented at RADCOR-2000, Carmel, CA, Sep. 2000; 15

Top Quark Pair Production at Threshold -- Uncertainties and Relativistic Corrections
It is shown how nonrelativistic QCD (NRQCD) can be used to determine
next-to-next-to-leading order relativistic and short-distance contributions to
the total production cross section in the threshold regime at lepton
colliders. A recipe for the calculation of all such contributions for the total
photon mediated production cross section is presented and a review of the
already known Abelian next-to-next-to-leading results is given.Comment: Talk presented at the Workshop on Physics at the First Muon Collider

Summing Logs of the Velocity in NRQCD and Top Threshold Physics
To achieve reliable predictions of the top-antitop threshold cross section at
a future e+e- Linear Collider logarithms of the top velocity need to be
resummed. I review the issues that make this problem complicated and show how
the task can be achieved by renormalization in an effective theory using the so
called velocity renormalization group. The most recent NNLL order results are
discussed.Comment: 12 pages, uses ws-procs9x6.cls and rotating_pr.sty, 2 ps figures.

Top Pair Production at Threshold and Effective Theories
I give an introduction to the effective field theory description of top pair
production at threshold in e+e- annihilation. The impact of the summation of
logarithms of the top quark velocity including most recent results at
next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic order is discussed.Comment: 19 pages, appolb_mod.cls, 4 postscript figures. Invited plenary talk

Three-Loop Anomalous Dimension of the Heavy Quark Pair Production Current in Non-Relativistic QCD
The three-loop non-mixing contributions to the anomalous dimension of the
leading order quark pair production current in non-relativistic QCD are
computed. It is demonstrated that the renormalization procedure can only be
carried out consistently if the dynamics of both soft and the ultrasoft degrees
of freedom is present for all scales below the heavy quark mass, and if the
soft and ultrasoft renormalization scales are always correlated.Comment: 19 pages, revtex, 5 postscript figures include
