Abstract

We take the standard model to be an effective theory including higher dimensional operators suppressed by scale Λ\Lambda and re-examine the higgs mass bounds from the requirements of vacuum stability. Our results show that the effects of the higher dimensional operators on the higgs mass limits are significant. As an implication of our results, we study the vacuum stability higgs mass bounds in theories with extra dimensions.
