Abstract: (Elsevier)
We present a compact analytic result for the two-loop leading heavy top contribution to the p -parameter which is valid for arbitrary Higgs mass. Our results confirm a recent calculation by Barbieri et al. [Phys. Lett. B 288 (1992) 95; preprint CERN-TH.6713/92 (1992)]. We directly calculate the physical W and Z amplitudes and explicitly check the validity of the Ward identities on which the calculation of Barbieri et al. was based. This also checks that the use of an anticommuting γ 5 preserves the Ward identities. A corresponding formula for the Z b ̄ b -vertex is given as well.
