Abstract
Charmonium sum rules are analyzed with the primary goal to obtain the restrictions on the value of the dimension 4 gluon condensate. The moments Mn(Q2) of the polarization operator of the vector charm currents are calculated and compared with the experimental data. The three-loop ( $\alpha_{\mathrm {s}}^2$) perturbative corrections, the contribution of the gluon condensate with $\alpha_{\mathrm {s}}$ corrections and the contribution of the dimension 6 operator G3 are accounted. It is shown that the sum rules for the moments do not work at Q2=0, where the perturbation series diverges and the G3 contribution is large. The domain in the (n, Q2) plane where the sum rules are legitimate is found. A strong correlation of the values of gluon condensate and $\overline{\mathrm {MS}}$ charm quark mass is determined. The absolute limits are found to be for the gluon condensate $\langle ({\alpha_{\mathrm {s}}} / {\pi}) G^2 \rangle
=0.009\pm 0.007 {\mathrm
{\,GeV}}^4$ and for the charm quark mass ${\bar m}({\bar m})=1.275\pm 0.015
{\mathrm {\,GeV}}$ in the $\overline{\mathrm {MS}}$ scheme.
