We consider top-quark mass effects in the Higgs-interference contribution to $Z$-boson pair production in gluon fusion. While this production mechanism is formally of next-to-next-to leading order, its contribution is numerically important…
By means of a low-energy theorem, we analyze at O(alpha_s G_F M_Q^2) the shifts in the Standard-Model W^+W^-H and ZZH couplings induced by virtual high-mass quarks, Q, with M_Q >> M_Z, M_H, which includes the top quark. Invoking the…
We present the complete one-loop corrected Higgs mass within the Standard Model. It is crucial to identify the observable mass as the renormalized one that depends on the external momentum. The correction is finite and dominated by the…
We find the effective neutral current in the heavy top quark limit up to and including the terms of order $\alpha_s^3$. The result is then employed to compute the correction of the same order to the axial part of the Z decay rate into…

We consider the production of pairs of Standard Model Higgs bosons via gluon fusion. Until recently the full dependence on the top quark mass $M_t$ was not known at next-to-leading order. For this reason we apply an approximation based on…
Higher-order contributions to the precision observables \Delta r, \sin^2\theta_eff and \Gamma_l are discussed. The Higgs-mass dependence of the observables is investigated at the two-loop level, and exact results are derived for the…

We discuss a recent analysis of a dominant two-loop electroweak correction, of O(G_F M_t^2), to the partial width of the decay of an intermediate-mass Higgs boson into a pair of photons. The asymptotic-expansion technique was used in order…
We compute four-loop corrections to the Higgs boson gluon vertex, including finite top quark mass effects. Analytic results are presented which serve as a building block for the next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order corrections to Higgs…
We compute three-loop corrections to the Higgs-gluon form factor, incorporating the top quark mass dependence. Our method is based on the combination of expansions around the top threshold and for large top quark mass, using conformal…
The agreement of electroweak measurements with theory places limits on the masses of the top quark and the $W$ boson. It is shown how these limits arise and what constraints various measurements (particularly a top quark mass determination)…
At hadron colliders, the leading production mechanism for a pair of photons is from quark-anti-quark annihilation at the tree level. However, due to large gluon-gluon luminosity, the loop-induced process $gg\to \gamma \gamma$ provides a…
