The upper and the lower bounds of the lightest CP-even Higgs-boson mass ($m_h$) are discussed in the two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM) with a softly-broken discrete symmetry. They are obtained as a function of a cut-off scale $\Lambda$ ($\leq…
It is widely believed that, for a given Top mass, the Higgs mass has a lower bound: if m_Higgs is too small, the Higgs vacuum is unstable due to Top dynamics. From vacuum instability, the state-of-the-art calculation of the lower bound is…
In a simplified version of the standard model with a single quark doublet, I derive a transcendental equation for the complex Higgs boson mass. The equation involves a divergent integral which is regularized and renormalized conventionally.…
We compute the Vilkovisky-DeWitt effective potential of a simplified version of the Standard Electroweak Model, where all charged boson fields as well as the bottom-quark field are neglected. The effective potential obtained in this…
We introduce a 4-dimensional cutoff in the scenario of gauge-Higgs unification to control the ultraviolet behavior. A one-loop effective potential for a Higgs field and the Higgs mass are obtained with the cutoff. We find an {\it…
LHC-7 has narrowed down the mass range of the light Higgs boson. This result is consistent with the supergravity unification framework, and the current Higgs boson mass window implies a rather significant loop correction to the tree value…
The triviality and vacuum stability bounds on the Higgs-boson mass are revisited in the presence of new interactions parameterized in a model-independent way by an effective lagrangian. When the scale of new physics is below 50 TeV the…
We obtain an improved upper bound on the lightest neutral CP-even Higgs boson mass from a low energy renormalisation-group analysis of the Higgs sector of the next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model. We find $m_h< 145$ GeV for…
We review the status of precision electroweak physics with particular emphasis on the extraction of the Higgs boson mass. Global fit results depend strongly on the used value for the hadronic contribution to alpha(M_Z). We emphasize,…
We present lower bounds on the Higgs boson mass in the Standard Model with three and four fermion generations SM(3,4), as well as upper bounds on the lightest Higgs boson mass in the minimal supersymmetric extension of the SM with three and…
Upper bounds for neutral as well as charged Higgs boson masses in a two-doublet model are obtained on the basis of tree unitarity conditions \`a la Lee, Quigg and Thacker. A wide variety of scattering processes are considered so extensively…
We study an upper bound on masses of additional scalar bosons from the electroweak precision data and theoretical constraints such as perturbative unitarity and vacuum stability in the two Higgs doublet model taking account of recent Higgs…
We examine the gauge dependence of lower bounds on the Higgs mass obtained from the requirement that the electroweak vacuum be the global minimum of the effective potential. We study a simple model, the spontaneously-broken Abelian Higgs…
We review the constraints on Higgs boson properties from effective potential methods. In the Standard Model, the requirement of stability (or metastability) of the standard electroweak minimum puts an upper bound on the scale of new physics…
We study the constraint on the mass of the charged Higgs boson in the minimal supergravity model based on the recent measurement of the inclusive $b\rightarrow s\gamma$ decay. It is shown that the lower bound for the charged Higgs mass…
We study the Higgs sector of the minimal supersymmetric standard model extended with vector-like quarks, at the one-loop level. The radiative corrections to the tree-level masses of the scalar Higgs bosons are calculated by including the…
We discuss a minimal extension to the standard model in which there are two Higgs bosons and, in addition to the usual fermion content, two fermion doublets and one fermion singlet. The little hierachy problem is solved by the vanishing of…
We present Higgs boson mass bounds in a lattice regularization allowing thus for non-perturbative investigations. In particular, we employ a lattice modified chiral invariant Higgs-Yukawa model using the overlap operator. We show results…
We consider the problem of a proper definition of the mass of a heavy unstable boson. It is shown how various definitions are related by the renormalization-scheme independence of the full resummed amplitude. This is made explicit for the…
We first review the current status of the top mass determination paying attention to the difference between the MS-bar and pole masses. Then we present our recent result on the bare Higgs mass at a very high ultraviolet cutoff scale.
