36 Conclusions We found natural bounds for the Higgs mass in the framework of the functional RG for quartic UV potentials. The form of the UV potential can exert a signicant inuence on the mass bounds. Outlook Extend the model to the full Standard Model. Study the inuence of other higher order operators. Solve the full ow equation for the potential with a global solver to get insights into the 'pseudo'-stable region.
