Anyone know a reference in the literature that computes the correction to the 3 gluon vertex due to a quark loop with non-zero quark-mass?

You mean a triangular quark loop at the center? I think this diagram vanishes. This amplitude = (trace of SU(3) generators of the gluons) * (QED photon 3-point function with a fermion loop). The latter vanishes because in QED the photon 3-point function vanishes. I may have made a mistake, so please correct me.

The QED three point function vanishes because its a sum of two loops, one cancels against the other. In QCD, you get tr[t^a t^b t^c] - tr[t^a t^c t^b], which is proportional to f^(a,b,c), as you'd expect.
 
Maybe this can help:

Thread 'Toponium Discovered'

Toponium is a hadron which is the bound state of a valance top quark and a valance antitop quark. Oversimplified presentations often state that top quarks don't form hadrons, because they decay to bottom quarks extremely rapidly after they are created, leaving no time to form a hadron. And, the vast majority of the time, this is true. But, the lifetime of a top quark is only an average lifetime. Sometimes it decays faster and sometimes it decays slower. In the highly improbable case that...

Thread 'Dirac-Delta from Normalization of Continuous Eigenfunctions'

I'm following this paper by Kitaev on SL(2,R) representations and I'm having a problem in the normalization of the continuous eigenfunctions (eqs. (67)-(70)), which satisfy \langle f_s | f_{s'} \rangle = \int_{0}^{1} \frac{2}{(1-u)^2} f_s(u)^* f_{s'}(u) \, du. \tag{67} The singular contribution of the integral arises at the endpoint u=1 of the integral, and in the limit u \to 1, the function f_s(u) takes on the form f_s(u) \approx a_s (1-u)^{1/2 + i s} + a_s^* (1-u)^{1/2 - i s}. \tag{70}...
