The leading three-loop corrections to the Fermi decay constant in the pure MS scheme are computed, shifting the Standard Model Higgs VEV down by about 3.5 MeV and cutting residual scale dependence to below 2e-6.

abstract
The treatment of $\gamma_{5}$ in Dimensional Regularization leads to ambiguities in field-theoretic calculations, of which one example is the coefficient of a particular term in the four-loop gauge $\beta$-functions of the Standard Model. Using Weyl Consistency Conditions, we present a scheme-independent relation between the coefficient of this term and a corresponding term in the three-loop Yukawa $\beta$-functions, where a semi-na\"ive treatment of $\gamma_{5}$ is sufficient, thereby fixing this ambiguity. We briefly outline an argument by which the same method fixes similar ambiguities at higher orders.

Three-loop corrections to the Fermi decay constant in the $\overline{\rm{MS}}$ scheme
The leading three-loop corrections to the Fermi decay constant in the pure MS scheme are computed, shifting the Standard Model Higgs VEV down by about 3.5 MeV and cutting residual scale dependence to below 2e-6.
