The two-loop Higgs mass upper bounds are reanalyzed. Previous results for a cutoff scale $\Lambda\approx$ few TeV are found to be too stringent. For $\Lambda=10^{19}$ GeV we find $M_H < 180 \pm 4\pm 5$ GeV, the first error indicating the…
The minimal supersymmetric standard model, and extensions, have stringent upper bounds on the mass of the lightest Higgs boson if perturbativity up to the Planck scale is assumed. We argue that these bounds are softened tremendously if the…
The upper bound on the mass of the lightest Higgs boson is provided in the supersymmetric standard model with multi-Higgs doublets, up to two-loop order. Relatively large corrections are expected from the experimentally unconstrained extra…
We discuss the lower Higgs boson mass bounds which come from the absolute stability of the Standard Model (SM) vacuum and from the Higgs inflation, as well as the prediction of the Higgs boson mass coming from asymptotic safety of the SM.…
We re-examine the lower bound on the mass of the Higgs boson, $M_H$, from Standard Model vacuum stability including next-to-leading-log radiative corrections. This amounts to work with the full one-loop effective potential, $V(\phi)$,…
In the standard model, the requirements of vacuum stability and the validity of perturbation theory up to the unification scale force the mass of the Higgs boson to be approximately between 130 GeV and 180 GeV. We re-examine these…
In the two loop approximation, a renormalization group analysis of the Higgs boson mass is performed based on the condition $g^2=(5/3)g'^2=4\lambda$ for SU(2)_L, U(1)_Y gauge and the Higgs quartic coupling constants, respectively. This…
The effective potential of massless standard model (SM) is calculated up to three-loop order. The stability of the effective potential and the Higgs boson mass are investigated up to three-loop order. We found that, Higgs boson mass $m_{H}$…
Recent results from ATLAS and CMS point to a narrow range for the Higgs mass: $M_H\in[ 124, 126] {\rm GeV}$. Given this range, a case may be made for new physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) because of the resultant vacuum stability…
Supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model generally give a theoretical upper limit on the lightest Higgs boson mass which may be uncomfortably close to the current experimental lower bound of $m_h$ > 114 GeV. Here we show ways in…
We study the upper limits on the mass of the lightest and second lightest CP even Higgs bosons in the (M+1)SSM, the MSSM extended by a gauge singlet. The dominant two loop contributions to the effective potential are included, which reduce…
The latest results of the ATLAS and CMS experiments indicate 116 GeV \lesssim M_H \lesssim 131 GeV and 115 GeV \lesssim M_H \lesssim 127 GeV, respectively, for the mass of the Higgs boson in the standard model (SM) at the 95% confidence…
The mass of the Higgs boson in the Split Supersymmetric Standard Model is calculated, including all one-loop threshold effects and the renormalization group evolution of the Higgs quartic coupling through two-loops. The two-loop corrections…
Precision measurements of the 125 GeV Higgs resonance recently discovered at the LHC have determined that its properties are similar to the ones of the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson. However, the current uncertainties in the determination…
We show that there is a calculable upper limit on the mass of the lightest Higgs boson in any supersymmetric theory that remains perturbative up to a high scale . There are no restrictions on the Higgs sector, or the gauge group or particle…

Vacuum stability and metastability imply lower limits on the mass of the higgs boson in the Standard Model (SM). In contrast, we present an improved calculation of an upper limit on the lightest higgs mass in supersymmetric (susy) models,…
We give the upper bounds on the masses of the lightest and second lightest CP even Higgs bosons in the NMSSM, the MSSM extended by a gauge singlet. The dominant two loop corrections are included. Since the coupling R of the lightest Higgs…
A light CP-even Higgs boson with a mass of around 10 GeV could explain the recent BNL measurement of the muon anomalous magnetic moment. This observation is based on a general CP-conserving two Higgs doublet extension of the Standard Model…
I discuss the stability of the SM scalar potential in view of the discovery of a Higgs boson with mass around 125 GeV. The role played by the top quark mass in the choice between the full stability and the metastability conditions is…
