Abstract

We study the implications of finite naturalness in Pati-Salam models where SU(3)CSU(3)_C is embedded in SU(4)SU(4). For the minimal realization at low-scale of quark-lepton unification, which employs the inverse seesaw for neutrino masses, we find that radiative corrections to the Higgs boson mass are at least δmh2/mh2O(104)\delta m_h^2 / m_h^2 \sim {\cal O}(10^4). The one-loop contributions to the Higgs mass are suppressed by four powers of the hypercharge gauge coupling. We find that for the vector leptoquarks the naively leading part of the two-loop corrections cancel. We assume the Dirac Yukawa couplings for neutrinos are equal to the up-type quark Yukawa couplings as predicted in the minimal theory for quark-lepton unification. Despite these findings, the two-loop corrections still dominate the finite naturalness bound. We mention a way to relax the lower bound on the vector leptoquark mass and have δmh2/mh2O(102)\delta m_h^2 / m_h^2 \sim {\cal O}(10^2).
