Description

In this talk the relation between heavy quark masses defined in the on-shell and $\overline{\rm MS}$ scheme is discussed at four-loop order in QCD. Special emphasis is put on the top quark mass where the four-loop result is used to estimate the remaining renormalon uncertainty. The relation between the $\overline{\rm MS}$ and on-shell mass can also be used to establish precise relations between so-called threshold masses and the $\overline{\rm MS}$ mass which has important applications both for bottom and top.
