TTP96-37 The Static Quark-Antiquark Potential in QCD to Three Loops

The static potential between an infinitely heavy quark and antiquark is derived in the framework of perturbative QCD to three loops by performing a full calculation of the two-loop diagrams and using the renormalization group. The contribution of massless fermions is included.
