Light Quark Mass Effects in Bottom Quark Mass Determinations

Abstract

Recent results for charm quark mass effects in perturbative bottom quark mass determinations from ${\rm Y}$ mesons are reviewed. The connection between the behavior of light quark mass corrections and the infrared sensitivity of some bottom quark mass definitions is examined in some detail.
