Abstract
By means of a low-energy theorem, we analyze at the shifts in the standard-model and couplings induced by virtual high-mass quarks with , which includes the top quark. Invoking the improved Born approximation, we then find the corresponding corrections to various four- and five-point Higgs-boson production and decay processes which involve the and vertices with one or both of the gauge bosons being connected to light-fermion currents, respectively. This includes via Higgs radiation, via fusion (with ), and via fusion (with ), as well as (with ).
