abstract
I provide a calculation at full two-loop order of the complex pole squared mass of the W boson in the Standard Model in the pure MS-bar renormalization scheme, with Goldstone boson mass effects resummed. This approach is an alternative to earlier ones that use on-shell or hybrid renormalization schemes. The renormalization scale dependence of the real and imaginary parts of the resulting pole mass are studied. Both deviate by about $\pm 4$ MeV from their median values as the renormalization scale is varied from 50 GeV to 200 GeV, but the theory error is likely larger. A surprising feature of this scheme is that the 2-loop QCD correction has a larger scale-dependence, but a smaller magnitude, than the 2-loop non-QCD correction, unless the renormalization scale is chosen very far from the top-quark mass.

Bare effective potential and Goldstone boson anti-resummation
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...

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.
