6 Numbers matter standard model best before: Λ = M Planck?
7 Validity range of the standard model Λ: UV cutoff SM as effective theory scale of maximum UV extension Λ? scale of new physics: Λ NP Λ
8 Higgs boson mass and maximum validity scale (HAMBYE,RIESSELMANN 97) SM: e.g. (KRIVE,LINDE 76; MAIANI,PARISI,PETRONZIO 78; KRASNIKOV 78; POLITZER, WOLFRAM 78; HUNG 79; LINDNER 85; WETTERICH 87; SHER 88; FORT,JONES,STEPHENSON, EINHORN 93; ALTARELLI,ISIDORI 94; SCHREMPP,WIMMER 96;... ) BSM: e.g., (CABBIBO, MAIANI,PARISI,PETRONZIO 79; ESPINOSA,QUIROS 91;... )

10 Upper bound of Higgs boson mass triviality bound = perturbativity bound = unitarity bound Higgs boson mass mh 2 v 2 U eff (φ = v), U eff (φ = v) λ R = large Higgs boson masses: scalar interactions dominate (λ 1)
11 Upper bound of Higgs boson mass triviality: perturbation theory predicts its own failure 10 (LANDAU 55) (GELL-MANN, LOW 54) 1 λ R 1 λ Λ = β 0 ln Λ v, β 0 > λ R and v fixed: ( = Λ sing v exp ) 1 β 0 λ R Landau pole singularity in practice: perturbativity criterion, e.g. λ Λpert π 4 = Λ = Λ pert
12 Upper bound of Higgs boson mass triviality: perturbation theory predicts its own failure 10 (LANDAU 55) (GELL-MANN, LOW 54) 1 λ R 1 λ Λ = β 0 ln Λ v, β 0 > Triviality lim Λ v : = λ R 0 in simple models: nonperturbative evidence from lattice simulations (LUESCHER,WEISZ 88; HASENFRATZ,JANSEN,LANG,NEUHAUS,YONEYAMA 87; WOLFF 11; BUIVIDOVICH 11; WEISZ,WOLFF 12,... )
13 Lower bound of Higgs boson mass vacuum stability / meta-stability bound effective potential á la Coleman Weinberg: U eff (φ) = 1 2 µ2 φ λ(φ)φ4 e.g., λ(φ) from RG-improved perturbation theory: t λ = 3 4π 2 ( ht 4 + ht 2 λ + 1 [ 2g 4 + (g 2 + g 2 ) 2] 1 ) 16 4 λ(3g2 + g 2 ) + λ 2
14 Lower bound of Higgs boson mass effective potential á la Coleman Weinberg: U eff (φ) = 1 2 µ2 φ λ(φ)φ4 e.g., λ(φ) from RG-improved perturbation theory: t λ = 3 4π 2 ( ht 4 + ht 2 λ + 1 [ 2g 4 + (g 2 + g 2 ) 2] 1 ) 16 4 λ(3g2 + g 2 ) + λ 2 (GABRIELLI ET AL. 13)
15 Lower Bound of Higgs boson mass meta-stability: tunneling time > age of universe Near critical standard model: (BUTTAZZO ET AL. 13) NNLO calculation (DEGRASSI ET AL. 12) earlier calculations, e.g., (ISIDORI,RIDOLFI,STRUMIA 01)
16 Lower Bound of Higgs boson mass Near critical standard model: (BUTTAZZO ET AL. 13: UPDATE V4) Stability seems to prefer m H 130GeV or m top 171GeV
17 Lower Bound of Higgs boson mass Near critical standard model: (BUTTAZZO ET AL. 13: UPDATE V4) Stability seems to prefer m H 130GeV or m top 171GeV The Higgs potential has the worrisome feature that it might become metastable at energies above 100bn gig-electron-volts,
18 Lower bound of Higgs boson mass Reasons for concern? α s dependence top mass dependence (DEGRASSI ET AL. 12) larger error of top pole mass 3? (ALEKHIN,DJOUADI,MOCH 12) compared to the MC fit parameter determined by Tevatron Decay of the false vacuum warning time s... the expansion of the bubble is a clean sweep... (COLEMAN 77)

77 Summary, Part II Bounds on the Higgs boson mass (or any other physical IR observable) arise from a mapping S micro O phys... provided by the RG For effective quantum field theories (with a cutoff Λ): bounds on O phys = f [S Λ ]... full S Λ not just the renormalizable operators lowering the conventional lower Higgs boson mass bound is possible... without in-/meta-stable vacuum
78 TODO list Λ study of general S Λ evolution of several minima in-/meta-/pseudo-stabilities?
79 Implications if m H < conventional lower bound: new physics at lower scales first constraints on underlying UV completion if m H exactly on the convenional lower bound: (e.g. if m top 171GeV)... criticality underlying UV completion has to explain absence of higher dimensional operators flat potential
80 Candidates standard model + asymptotically safe gravity gravity fluctuations induces a UV fixed point λ 0 (WEINBERG 76; REUTER 96) (PERCACCI ET AL 03 09) = m H put onto conventional lower bound (WETTERICH,SHAPOSHNIKOV 10) (BEZRUKOV,KALMYKOV,KNIEHL,SHAPOSHNIKOV 12) Asymptotically safe gauged Higgs Yukawa model (HG,RECHENBERGER,SCHERER,ZAMBELLI 13) = line of fixed points approaching flat potential with v/k
