Expressions have been derived for the radiative Higgs field effects, i.e., corrections to the mass and anomalous magnetic moment for the electron, which can readily be extended to any other charged lepton. The expressions were formulated, from Weinberg-Salam electroweak theory, to take into account the contributions of the photon, the Z boson, the W boson, and the H boson to the electron mass operator. Exact solutions to Dirac's equation for the electron were used with allowance for the external field as wave functions for the initial and final states, while the internal electron line corresponds to a propagator that incorporates the external field effects exactly. A similar analysis can be performed for the lepton-mass corrections and indicates that the Higgs contribution and those from the vector bosons may be of the same order if the lepton mass is close to or greater than the Higgs-particle mass.
