6 Landau pole in perturbation theory: Higgs mass upper bound The RGE in the pure Higgs sector is known to three-loop order in the MS scheme β(λ) = d λ = 3 d t 2π 2 λ ζ(3) 32π 4 λ3 + (16π 2 ) 3 λ 4. The RGE exhibits an IR attractive fixed point λ=0 (perturbative triviality ) with general solution in one loop order 1 λ(µ) λ(µ) = 1 λ(λ) + 3 2π 2 ln Λ, λ(λ) = 1 µ 3 2π 2 λ(µ)ln Λ µ Increasing λ(µ) at fixed λ(λ), the Landau pole is hit at 3 2π 2 λ(µ)ln Λ µ = 1 bound λ(µ) < 2π2 3ln Λ µ which is related to the upper bound on the Higgs mass. with the naive upper λ = m2 H v 2. When we try to increase λ(µ) at fixed λ(λ) beyond the Landau pole limit, something else will happen which will reveal the intrinsic non-removable cutoff in the theory. This will be illustrated in the large N limit of the Higgs-Yukawa fermion model.

NF 24 N F With rescaling of the scalar field φ N F and integrating out the fermion fields, the partition function is given by ( Z = Dφ exp [ N F Tr ln(γ µ µ yφ) + d 4 x[ 1 2 φ( + m2 )φ + 1 )] 24 λφ4 ]. The N F limit is a saddle point for the functional integral. The solution of the saddle point equations is equivalent to summing all Feyman diagrams with leading fermion bubbles which are proportional to N F.

13 Renormalization: Large N F limit of Top-Higgs model In the limit where N F becomes large, all Feynman diagrams with Higgs loops are suppressed relative to those with fermion loops. Hence, two of the counterterms vanish, Renormalization conditions (1,2) δy = 0, δz ψ = 0 as there are no radiative corrections to the fermion propagator or to the Higgs-fermion coupling. To maintain tree level relation m λv2 = 0 to all orders: Renormalization condition (3) δm δλv2 4N F y 2 k 1 k 2 + y 2 v 2 = 0 Julius Kuti, University of California at San Diego INT Summer School on Lattice QCD and its applications Seattle, August 8-28, 2007, Lecture 2: Triviality and Higgs Mass Upper Bound 9/37

14 Renormalization: Large N F limit of Top-Higgs model In the large N F limit, the inverse propagator of the Higgs fluctuation ϕ = φ v is G 1 ϕϕ(p 2 ) = p 2 + m λv2 + p 2 δz φ + δm δλv2 Σ(p 2 ) Σ(p 2 ) = 4N F y 2 y 2 v 2 k.(k p) k (k 2 + y 2 v 2 )((k p) 2 + y 2 v 2 ) We impose the condition G 1 ϕϕ(p 2 0) = p 2 + m 2 H, which separates into two renormalization conditions: Renormalization condition (4) δm δλv2 Σ(p 2 = 0) = 0 Renormalization condition (5) δz φ dσ(p2 ) dp 2 p 2 =0 = 0 Julius Kuti, University of California at San Diego INT Summer School on Lattice QCD and its applications Seattle, August 8-28, 2007, Lecture 2: Triviality and Higgs Mass Upper Bound 10/37

15 Counterterms: Large N F limit of Top-Higgs model Renormalization condition δm δλv2 Σ(p 2 = 0) = 0 maintains the tree-level relation m 2 H = m λv2 = 1 3 λv2 exactly. The counterterms precisely cancel all the finite and infinite radiative contributions. The Higgs mass defined as the zero-momentum piece of G 1 ϕϕ is identical to the curvature U eff (v). True physical mass given by the pole of the propagator and the renormalized masses m H and m can be related in perturbation theory. Renormalization conditions (3) and (4) yield δm 2 = 4N F y 2 k δλ = 24N F y 4 k 2 + 2y 2 v 2 (k 2 + y 2 v 2 ) 2, k 1 (k 2 + y 2 v 2 ) 2. The closed form for δz φ is more complicated and less illuminating. To demonstrate triviality, we use some finite cutoff in the momentum integrals and examine what occurs as this cutoff is removed. We will use a simple hard-momentum cutoff k Λ. Exactly the same conclusions would be reached using instead e.g. Pauli-Villars regularization. Julius Kuti, University of California at San Diego INT Summer School on Lattice QCD and its applications Seattle, August 8-28, 2007, Lecture 2: Triviality and Higgs Mass Upper Bound 11/37

16 Counterterms: Large N F limit of Top-Higgs model The non-zero counterterms are δm 2 N F y 2 [ 1 y 4 v 4 = 2π 2 2 Λ2 + 2(Λ 2 + y 2 v 2 ) 1 ] 2 y2 v 2 δλ = 3N Fy 4 [ y 2 v 2 π 2 2(Λ 2 + y 2 v 2 ) ( 2 ln y 2 v 2 )] Λ 2 + y 2 v 2 δz φ = N Fy 2 [ ( 1 y 2 2π 2 4 ln v 2 + Λ 2 ) y 2 v 2 + 5Λ4 3Λ 2 y 2 v 2 ] 12(Λ 2 + y 2 v 2 ) 2. In the large N F limit, the fermion inverse propagator receives no radiative correction, G 1 ψψ (p) = p µγ µ + yv, so we identify the fermion mass as m T = yv. Because both δy and δz ψ vanish, we can substitutey 2 = Z φ y 2 0 Z φ = 1 + N Fy 2 0 8π 2 ln Λ2 m T For any finite bare Yukawa coupling y 0, the Higgs wavefunction renormalization factor Z φ vanishes logarithmically as the cutoff is removed, m T /Λ 0. This same logarithmic behavior will appear in all of the renormalized couplings, for any choice of bare couplings. Triviality: a finite cutoff must be kept to maintain non-zero interactions.

17 Triviality: Large N F limit of Top-Higgs model Explicitly, the renormalized Yukawa coupling is y 2 = y 2 0 Z φ = y N Fy 2 0 8π 2 ln Λ2 m T N 1 F Λ2 ln 8π2 m 2, as m T Λ 0. T For the renormalized Higgs coupling, we have λ = λ 0 Zφ 2 δλ = λ 0Zφ 2 + 3N Fy 4 m 2 T π 2 2(Λ 2 + m 2 T ) ln m 2 T Λ 2 + m 2 T Zφ 2 λ 0 + 3N Fy 4 0 π ln m2 T Λ 2 12 N 1 F Λ2 ln 8π2 m 2, as m T Λ 0.

18 Triviality: Large N F limit of Top-Higgs model The slow logarithmic vanishing of y and λ enables a relatively large separation of cutoff and physical scales and still maintain significant interactions. Such a theory can in some limited sense be considered physical, if the cutoff effects are sufficiently small. The ratio of the Higgs and fermion masses in the large N F is m 2 H m 2 T = λv2 3y 2 v 2 = λ 3y 2 4, as m T Λ 0. Although completely unphysical, we can also consider the limit m T /Λ 1, where the cutoff is much below the physical scale. From Equation, we see this gives δλ = 0, δz φ = 0, and hence Z φ 1. In this limit, the connection between bare and renormalized parameters is simply λ = λ 0, y = y 0. This result is not surprising: deep in the cutoff regime, we simply have the bare theory, with no separation into renormalized parameters and their counterterms. This will be relevant when we discuss the Landau pole and the vacuum instability.

19 Renormalization Group flow: Large N F limit of Top-Higgs model The physical properties of the theory, at finite cutoff Λ are fixed by the choice of a complete set of bare parameters. Using the explicit cutoff dependence of y and λ, we can calculate the Callan-Symanzik flow of the renormalized couplings inn the m T /Λ 1 limit β y (y, λ) = Λ dy2 dλ = y 2 N F y 2 0 Z 2 0 φ 4π 2 = N Fy 4 4π 2 β λ (y, λ) = Λ dλ dλ = 1 16π 2 [ 8NF λy N F y 4] This is exactly the same RG flow one would calculate in the large N F limit using e.g. dimensional regularization, where the cutoff simply does not appear and the renormalized couplings flow with the arbitrary renormalization scale µ. The overall signs of the β functions would be opposite: increasing Λ corresponds to decreasing µ). We should expect this: when the cutoff is far above the physical scales, the finite cutoff effects are negligible and we must reproduce the unique cutoff-independent β functions. However, as the cutoff is reduced and m T /Λ increases, this cannot continue to hold indefinitely, as the renormalized couplings must eventually flow to the bare ones! Julius Kuti, University of California at San Diego INT Summer School on Lattice QCD and its applications Seattle, August 8-28, 2007, Lecture 2: Triviality and Higgs Mass Upper Bound 15/37

20 Renormalization Group flow: Large N F limit of Top-Higgs model Let us demonstrate an explicit example of the Callan-Symanzik RG flow. In the large N F limit, m T = yv = y 0 v 0. The bare vev is determined by the minimum of the bare effective potential U eff,0 = 1 2 m2 0 φ λ 0φ 4 0 2N F ln [ 1 + y 2 0 φ2 0 /k2]. k Using a hard-momentum cutoff, this gives m λ 0v 2 0 N Fy 2 0 2π Λ y2 0 v2 0 ln y 2 0 v2 0 Λ 2 + y 2 = 0. 0 v2 0 We express all dimensionful quantities in units of the cutoff Λ. We pick some fixed values for λ 0 and y 0. Varying the value of m 2 0 /Λ2 changes the solution v 0 /Λ of Equation and hence the ratio m T /Λ. As we said, choosing the values of the bare parameters completely determines everything in the theory. For example, to attain a very small value of m T /Λ requires m 2 0 /Λ to be precisely fine tuned! This is the origin of the so-called fine-tuning problem. The critical surface, where v 0 /Λ = 0, is the transition line m 2 0 Λ 2 N Fy 2 0 4π 2 = 0, with all counterterms and renormalized parameters expressed in terms of λ 0, y 0, m 2 0 and v 0.

21 Renormalization Group flow: Large N F limit of Top-Higgs model All of the counterterms and renormalized parameters can be expressed in terms of λ 0, y 0, m 2 0 and v 0. We make an arbitrary choice λ 0 = 0.1, y 0 = 0.7 and vary the value of m 2 0 /Λ2 to explore the range < m T /Λ < When the cutoff is high, the exact RG flow is exactly the same as if the cutoff had been completely removed and follows precisely the continuum form of Equation. However, as the cutoff is reduced, the exact RG flow eventually breaks away from the continuum form and reaches a plateau at the value of the bare coupling. running Higgs coupling (Holland,JK) Julius Kuti, University of California at San Diego INT Summer School on Lattice QCD and its applications Seattle, August 8-28, 2007, Lecture 2: Triviality and Higgs Mass Upper Bound 17/37

23 Higgs Mass Upper Bound: 1-component Higgs field 1-component lattice φ 4 model is characterized by two bare parameters κ, λ with lattice action 4 S = 2κ φ(x)φ(x + ˆµ) + φ(x) 2 + λ(φ(x) 2 1) 2. x µ=1 There are two phases separated by a line of critical points κ = κ c (λ). For κ > κ c (λ) the symmetry is spontaneously broken and the bare field φ(x) has a non-vanishing expectation value v. Julius Kuti, University of California at San Diego INT Summer School on Lattice QCD and its applications Seattle, August 8-28, 2007, Lecture 2: Triviality and Higgs Mass Upper Bound 19/37

24 Higgs Mass Upper Bound: 1-component Higgs field Study the vacuum expectation value and the connected two-point function G(x) = φ(x)φ(0) c = φ(x)φ(0) v 2. A renormalized mass m r and a field wave function renormalization constant Z r are defined through the behavior of Fourier transform of G(x) for small momenta: { G(k) 1 = Zr 1 m 2 r + k 2 + O(k 4 ) }. We also define the normalization constant associated with the canonical bare field through ˆ Z r = 2κZ r = 2κm 2 r χ. In the framework of perturbation theory correlation functions of the multiplicatively renormalized field φ r (x) = Zr 1/2 φ(x), have at all orders finite continuum limits after mass and coupling renormalization are taken into account. Correspondingly a renormalized vacuum expectation value is defined through v r = vzr 1/2. Finally a particular renormalized coupling is defined by g r 3m 2 r /v 2 r = 3m 4 r χ/v 2.

25 Higgs Mass Upper Bound: 1-component Higgs field The renormalization group equations predict that the mass and vacuum expectation value go to zero according to m r τ 1/2 ln(τ) 1/6, v r τ 1/2 ln(τ) 1/3, for τ = κ/κ c 1 0, and correspondingly the renormalized coupling is predicted to go to zero logarithmically which is the expression of triviality. The critical behavior in the broken phase is conveniently expressed in terms of three integration constants C i, i = 1, 2, 3 appearing in the critical behaviors: m r = C 1 (β 1g r ) 17/27 e 1/β 1g r {1 + O(g r )}, β 1 = 3 16π 2, { Z r = C } g r 36 16π 2 + O(g2 r ), 1 κ κ c = 2 C 3 m2 r g 1/3 r {1 + O(g r )}. These constants were estimated by relating them to the corresponding constants C i in the symmetric phase. These in turn were computed by integrating the renormalization group equations with initial data on the line κ = 0.95κ c (λ) obtained from high temperature expansions.

36 Example for UV Completion: Higer derivative (Lee-Wick) Higgs sector Jansen,JK,Liu, Phys. Lett. B309 (1993) p.119 and p.127 (Model was recently reintroduced by Grinstein, O Connell, Wise in arxiv: ) Represent the Higgs doublet with four real components φ a which transform in the vector representation of O(4) and include new higher derivative terms in the kinetic part of the O(4) Higgs Lagrangian, L H = 1 2 µφ a µ φ a cos(2θ) M 2 φ a φ a + 1 2M 4 µφ a µ φ a V(φ a φ a ) The Higgs potential is V(φ a φ a ) = 1 2 µ2 φ a φ a + λ(φ a φ a ) 2.

Their discrete energy spectrum W j, j = 0, 1, 2,..., is related to the scattering phase shifts δ l with angular momenta l which are allowed by the cubic symmetry of the states Julius Kuti, University of California at San Diego INT Summer School on Lattice QCD and its applications Seattle, August 8-28, 2007, Lecture 2: Triviality and Higgs Mass Upper Bound 31/37

45 Higgs resonance: Finite width in finite volume? In the subspace of cubically invariant states only angular momenta l = 0, 4, 6,... contribute. Due to the short-range interaction it seems reasonable to neglect all l 0. Then an energy value W j belongs to the two-particle spectrum, if the corresponding momentum k j = (W j /2) 2 m 2 π is a solution of ( ) kj L δ 0 (k j ) = φ + jπ 2π The continuous function φ(q) is given by qπ 3/2 tan ( φ(q)) = Z 00 (1, q 2 ), φ(0) = 0 with Z 00 (1, q 2 ) defined by analytic continuation of Z 00 (s, q 2 ) = 1 4π n Z 3 ( n 2 q 2) s. This result holds only for 0<q 2 <9, which is fulfilled in our simulations, and provided finite volume polarisation effects and scaling violations are negligible In our Monte-Carlo investigation we calculate the momenta k j corresponding to the two-particle energy spectrum W j for a given size L, and can then read off the scattering phaseshift δ 0 (k j ) from its defining equation In order to scan the momentum dependence of the phase shift we have to vary the spatial extent L of the lattice Julius Kuti, University of California at San Diego INT Summer School on Lattice QCD and its applications Seattle, August 8-28, 2007, Lecture 2: Triviality and Higgs Mass Upper Bound 32/37
