Key Equations

$$\mu\frac{d}{d\mu}\mathcal{O}(p_i, m(\mu), \lambda(\mu), \mu) = 0$$
$$\gamma_m(\lambda) = \mu\frac{1}{m}\frac{dm}{d\mu}$$
$$\delta\lambda = \frac{3\lambda^2}{16\pi^2\epsilon} + \text{finite}$$
$$\alpha(Q^2) = \frac{\alpha(\mu^2)}{1 - \frac{\alpha(\mu^2)}{3\pi}\ln\frac{Q^2}{\mu^2}}$$

Equations are rendered with MathJax in the PDF with professional LaTeX typesetting.
