Abstract
The bosonic contributions to the photon mass are shown to be of the same form as the fermionic contributions, but of opposite sign. A mass sum rule for bosons and fermions follows from gauge invariance. Assuming completeness of the standard model the top quark mass can be predicted. Effectively only the W-bosons contribute, giving a lowest order prediction of 85.1 GeV for the mass of top quark, on the low side of currently accepted estimates.
