The complex pole mass of the top quark is presented at full two-loop order in the Standard Model, augmenting the known four-loop QCD contributions. The input parameters are the MS-bar Yukawa and gauge couplings, the Higgs self-coupling, and the Higgs vacuum expectation value (VEV). Here, the VEV is defined as the minimum of the full effective potential in Landau gauge, so that tadpoles vanish. This is an alternative to earlier results that instead minimize the tree-level potential, resulting in a VEV that is gauge-fixing independent but accompanied by negative powers of the Higgs self-coupling in perturbative expansions. The effects of non-zero Goldstone boson mass are eliminated by resummation. I also study the renormalization scale dependence of the calculated pole mass.

    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...

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    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.
