I obtain the complex pole squared mass of the Z boson at full two-loop order in the Standard Model in the pure MS-bar renormalization scheme. The input parameters are the running gauge couplings, the top-quark Yukawa coupling, the Higgs self-coupling, and the vacuum expectation value that minimizes the Landau gauge effective potential. The effects of non-zero Goldstone boson mass are resummed. Within a reasonable range of renormalization scale choices, the scale dependence of the computed pole mass is found to be comparable to the current experimental uncertainty, but the true theoretical error is likely somewhat larger.

    Treating Goldstone-boson squared masses as interaction vertices instead of propagator masses eliminates spurious infrared logarithms and imaginary parts, giving a consistent three-loop tadpole-free effective potential...

    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.
