It is widely believed that the pole mass of a quark is infrared-finite and gauge-independent to all orders in perturbation theory. This seems not to have been proved in the literature. A proof is provided here.

  1. Renormalon subtracted nonrelativistic QCD for heavy hadron systems

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5 of 10

    MRS-pNRQCD plus GFMC stabilizes heavy-hadron spectroscopy; NNLO baryon masses undershoot lattice QCD by 125–175 MeV with 1/m_Q scaling, and a critical mass ratio for tetraquark binding is extracted.

  2. Gauge-Invariant Off-Shell Mass

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5 of 10

    A segment-local Ward–Takahashi cancellation makes the fermion self-energy equal to its Feynman-gauge value off shell, yielding a gauge-invariant, on-shell-renormalized mass function m(q).

  3. Leading-renormalon-free Trace-anomaly-subtracted $\sigma$-mass for Heavy Quarks up to Five Loops in QCD

    hep-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The sigma-mass, obtained by subtracting the trace-anomaly contribution from the pole mass, is free of the leading infrared renormalon, with its relation to the pole mass now known to five loops.

  4. Hyperasymptotic approximation to the top, bottom and charm pole mass

    hep-ph 2019-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    PV-regulated pole mass expansions produce a 28 MeV purely theoretical error for the top quark mass conversion at 163 GeV, with lattice cross-checks for the bottom and charm sectors.
