Finite size vertex corrections to the three-gluon decay widths of   $J/\psi$ and $\Upsilon$ and a redetermination of $\alpha_s(\mu)$ at $\mu=m_c$   and $m_b$
  We calculate the corrections to the three-gluon decay widths $\Gamma_{3g}$ of $c\bar c$ and $b \bar b$ quarkonia due to the finite extension of the $Q\bar Q\to 3g$ vertex function. The widths computed with zero range vertex are reduced by a factor $\gamma$ where $\gamma=0.31$ for the $J/\psi$ and $\gamma=0.69$ for the $\Upsilon$. These large corrections necessitate a redetermination of the values $\alpha_s(\mu)$ extracted from $\Gamma_{3g}$. We find $\alpha_s(m_c)=0.28\pm.01$ and $\alpha_s(m_b)=0.20\pm.01$.
