Abstract

We investigate the vacuum stability in a scale invariant local U(1)χU(1)_\chi model with vanishing scalar potential at the Planck scale. We find that it is impossible to realize the Higgs mass of 125\,GeV while keeping the Higgs quartic coupling λH\lambda_H to be positive in all energy scale, that is the same as the standard model. Once one allows λH<0\lambda_H<0, the lower bounds of the ZZ' boson mass are obtained through the positive definiteness of the scalar mass squared eigenvalues, while the bounds are smaller than the LHC bounds. On the other hand, the upper bounds strongly depend on the number of relevant Majorana Yukawa couplings of the right-handed neutrinos NνN_\nu. Considering decoupling effects of the ZZ' boson and the right-handed neutrinos, the condition of the singlet scalar quartic coupling λϕ>0\lambda_\phi>0 gives the upper bound in Nν=1N_\nu=1 case, while it does not constrain Nν=2N_\nu=2 and 3 cases. Especially, we find that ZZ' boson mass is tightly restricted for Nν=1N_\nu=1 case as MZ3.7TeVM_{Z'} \lesssim 3.7\,{\rm TeV}.
