On the scheme dependence of the Electroweak radiative corrections

Abstract

We study the scheme dependence of the two-loop expression for the $\rho$-parameter of the Standard Model in the heavy $t$-quark mass limit $m_t\gg m_w$. In the $\text{ms}$-scheme the two-loop electroweak correction to the $\mathcal{O}(m_t^2)$ term in $\text{dr}$ is found greater than the QCD $\text{as}$-correction.
