One of the greatest unsolved issues of the physics of this century is to find a quantum field theory of gravity. According to a vast amount of literature, unification of quantum field theory and gravitation requires a gauge theory of gravity which includes torsion and an associated spin field. Various models including either massive or massless torsion fields have been suggested. We present arguments for a massive torsion field, where the probable rest mass of the corresponding spin three gauge boson is the Planck mass.

Perturbative QCD in mass independent schemes leads in general to running coupling a(Q2) which is nonanalytic (nonholomorphic) in the regime of low spacelike momenta |Q2|≲1 GeV 2. Such (Landau) singularities are inconvenient in the following sense: evaluations of spacelike physical quantities 𝒟(Q2) with such a running coupling a(κQ2)(κ~1) give us expressions with the same kind of singularities, while the general principles of local quantum field theory require that the mentioned physical quantities have no such singularities. In a previous work, certain classes of perturbative mass independent beta functions were found such that the resulting coupling was holomorphic. However, the resulting perturbation series showed explosive increase of coefficients already at N 4 LO order, as a consequence of the requirement that the theory reproduce the correct value of the τ lepton semihadronic strangeless decay ratio rτ. In this paper, we successfully extend the construction to specific classes of perturbative beta functions such that the perturbation series do not show explosive increase of coefficients, the perturbative coupling is holomorphic, and the correct value of rτ is reproduced. In addition, we extract, with Borel sum rule analysis of the V+A channel of the semihadronic strangeless decays of τ lepton, reasonable values of the corresponding D = 4 and D = 6 condensates.
