The multiple point principle (MPP), according to which several vacuum states with the same energy density exist, is put forward as a fine-tuning mechanism predicting the ratio between the fundamental and weak scales in the Standard Model…
The Multiple Point Principle, according to which there exist many vacuum states with the same energy density, is put forward as a fine-tuning mechanism. By assuming the existence of three degenerate vacua, we derive the hierarchical ratio…
Instead of solving the fine-tuning problems by some automatic method or by cancelling the quadratic divergencies in the hierarchy problem by a symmetry (such as SUSY), we rather propose to look for a unification of the different fine-tuning…
We stress the importance of the circa 20 parameters in the Standard Model, which are not fixed by the model but only determined experimentally, as a window to the physics beyond the Standard Model. However, it is a tiny window in as far as…
We consider the renormalisation group flow of Higgs and Yukawa couplings within the simplest non--supersymmetric two Higgs doublet extension of the Standard Model (SM). In this model the couplings are adjusted so that the multiple point…
Based on Quantum Gravity arguments, it has been suggested that all kinetic terms of light particles below the UV cut-off could arise in the IR via quantum (loop) corrections. These loop corrections involve infinite towers of states becoming…
We present a novel extension of the Standard Model which fulfills the multiple-point principle without contradicting the Higgs particle mass measurement. In the model, the scalar potential has two minima where the scalar field has vacuum…
We put forward a model, or rather a relatively broad class of models, beyond the Standard Model based on the two main assumptions: MPP) The coupling constants should be fixed such as to ensure that there be many ``vacuum states'', i.e.…
We have long speculated \cite{1nbs,2nbs,3nbs,4nbs,5nbs, 6nbs,7nbs,8nbs,9nbs,10nbs,11nbs,12nbs, 13nbs,14nbs,LNvacuumstability} , that 6 top + 6 anti-top quarks due to the realtively large size of the top-yukawa coupling would bind…
The possibility that the spontaneous symmetry breaking in the Standard Model (SM) may be generated by the Top-Higgs Yukawa interaction (which determines the so called "second minimum" in the SM) is examined. A former analysis is extended…
Testing the stability of the electroweak vacuum in any extension of the Standard Model Higgs sector is of great importance to verify the consistency of the theory. Multi-scalar extensions as the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model…
According to the multiple point principle, Nature adjusts coupling parameters so that many vacuum states exist and each has approximately zero vacuum energy density. We apply this principle to the general two-Higgs doublet extension of the…
The effective renormalizable theory describing electromagnetic and strong interactions of quarks of five light flavors ($n_f = 5$ QCD$\times$QED) is considered as a low-energy limit of the full Standard Model. Two-loop relation between the…
We consider the application of the multiple point criticality principle to the pure Standard Model, with a desert up to the Planck scale. According to this principle, Nature should choose coupling constant values such that the vacuum can…
The latest results of the ATLAS and CMS experiments point to a preferred narrow Higgs mass range (m_h \simeq 124 - 126 GeV) in which the effective potential of the Standard Model (SM) develops a vacuum instability at a scale 10^{9} -10^{11}…
The theory of multiverse and wormholes suggests that the parameters of the Standard Model are fixed in such a way that the radiation of the $S^{3}$ universe at the final stage $S_{rad}$ becomes maximum, which we call the maximum entropy…
If the Standard Model (SM) is an effective theory, as currently believed, it is valid up to some energy scale $\Lambda$ to which the Higgs vacuum expectation value is sensitive throughout radiative quadratic terms. The latter ones…
We study the finite-temperature effective potential of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, in the limit of only one light Higgs boson. Because of the large top Yukawa coupling, there can be significant differences with respect to the…
We point out a novel possible mechanism by which the electroweak hierarchy problem can be avoided in the (effective) quantum field theory. Assuming the existence of a UV complete underlying fundamental theory and treating the cutoff scale…
