contents It has been shown that the principle of maximum conformality (PMC) provides a systematic way to solve conventional renormalization scheme and scale ambiguities. The scale-fixed predictions for physical observables using the PMC are independent of the choice of renormalization scheme -- a key requirement of renormalization group invariance. In the paper, we derive new degeneracy relations based on the renormalization group equations that involve both the usual $β$-function and the quark mass anomalous dimension $γ_m$-function, respectively. These new degeneracy relations lead to an improved PMC scale-setting procedures, such that the correct magnitudes of the strong coupling constant and the $\overline{\rm MS}$-running quark mass can be fixed simultaneously. By using the improved PMC scale-setting procedures, the renormalization scale dependence of the $\overline{\rm MS}$-on-shell quark mass relation can be eliminated systematically. Consequently, the top-quark on-shell (or $\overline{\rm MS}$) mass can be determined without conventional renormalization scale ambiguity. Taking the top-quark $\overline{\rm MS}$ mass ${\overline m}_t({\overline m}_t)=162.5^{+2.1}_{-1.5}$ GeV as the input, we obtain $M_t\simeq 172.41^{+2.21}_{-1.57}$ GeV. Here the uncertainties are combined errors with those also from $Δα_s(M_Z)$ and the approximate uncertainty stemming from the uncalculated five-loop terms predicted through the Padé approximation approach.
