A prominent example is the "generalized Crewther relation" which connects the Bjorken and Gross-Llewellyn Smith deep inelastic scattering sum rules to measurements of the $e^+ e^-$ annihilation cross section. Commensurate scale relations also provide an extension of the standard minimal subtraction scheme which is analytic in the quark masses, has non-ambiguous scale-setting properties, and inherits the physical properties of the effective charge $α_V(Q^2)$ defined from the heavy quark potential. I also discuss a property of perturbation theory, the "Abelian correspondence principle", which provides an analytic constraint on non-Abelian gauge theory for $N_C \to 0.$LaTex, 14 pagesHigh Energy Physics - Phenomenologytext
