Abstract There are indications that an asymptotically safe UV completion of the Standard Model with gravity could constrain the Higgs self-coupling, resulting in a prediction of the Higgs mass close to the vacuum stability bound in the Standard Model. The predicted value depends on the top quark mass and comes out somewhat higher than the experimental value if the current central value for the top quark mass is assumed. Beyond the Standard Model, the predicted value also depends on dark fields coupled through a Higgs portal. Here we study the Higgs self-coupling in a toy model of the Standard Model with quantum gravity that we extend by a dark scalar and fermion. Within the approximations used in [1], there is a single free parameter in the asymptotically safe dark sector, as a function of which the predicted (toy model) Higgs mass can be lowered due to mixing effects if the dark sector undergoes spontaneous symmetry breaking.

Within the standard model with three generations we fit the top quark mass mt by combining experimental information of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] mixing, CP-violation in K decay and the ratio Γ(W)/Γ(Z) extracted from [Formula: see text] collider data. We conclude that [Formula: see text] where the "systematic error" associated with theoretical ambiguities in performing the calculations is likely to be significantly larger than the quoted 10 GeV error associated with input parameters and experimental data. The anticipated value essentially guarantees the discovery of the top quark by existing experiments. Failure to discover it should force us to reconsider generally accepted calculational procedures before it signals new physics beyond the standard model. We discuss this in some detail.

We examine the Higgs sector of the minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model. The requirement of perturbative unification combined with the recent LEP data on Higgs boson searches, excludes substantial regions of parameter space. We find that only 0.42 ≤ tan β≲0.76 and tan β≳1.30 are the allowed values for tan β=υ2/υ1. We also determine the absolute lower bound on the lightest Higgs mass to be ≈8 GeV. We conclude that improved lower bounds on the top quark mass and/or the standard model Higgs boson mass will impose yet more stringent constraints on the model. These results clearly favor tan β>1, in agreement with N=1 supergravity or superstring-inspired models.

We introduce a toy model implementing the proposal of using a custodial symmetry to protect the [Formula: see text] coupling from large corrections. This "doublet-extended standard model" adds a weak doublet of fermions (including a heavy partner of the top quark) to the particle content of the standard model in order to implement an O(4) × U(1)X ~ SU(2)L × SU(2)R × PLR × U(1)X symmetry in the top-quark mass generating sector. This symmetry is softly broken to the gauged SU(2)L × U(1)Y electroweak symmetry by a Dirac mass M for the new doublet; adjusting the value of M allows us to explore the range of possibilities between the O(4)-symmetric (M → 0) and standard-model-like (M → ∞) limits.

Plausible interrelations between parameters of the standard model are studied. The empirical value of the top quark mass, when used in the renormalization group equations, suggests that the ratio of the color SU(3) gauge coupling g3, and the top coupling gt is independent of the renormalization scale. On the other hand, the variety of top-condensate models suggests that the Higgs self-coupling λ is proportional to [Formula: see text]. Invoking the requirement that the ratio [Formula: see text] is independent of the renormalization scale t, fixes the Higgs mass. The pole mass of the Higgs (which differs from the renormalization group mass by a few percent) is found to be ~ 154 GeV for the one-loop equations and ~ 148 GeV for the two-loop equations.

The results of the QCD corrections to the [Formula: see text] decay within the minimal super-symmetric standard model such that gluinos and scalar quarks are taken within the relevant loop diagram are presented. The mixing of the scalar partners of the left- and right-handed top quarks which is proportional to the top quark mass is included. The standard corrections via gluons and quarks are about +7% for a charged Higgs mass of 300 GeV and about −10% for a Higgs mass of 800 GeV. The standard corrections can be shown to diminish or enhance by a non-negligible amount of certain values of the supersymmetric parameter space. The sign changes can also be obtained.

It now appears phenomenologically that the third family may be essentially different from the first two. Particularly the high value of the top quark mass suggests a special role. In the standard model all three families are treated similarly [becoming exactly the same at asymptotically high energies] so I need to extend the model to accommodate the goal of a really different third family. In this article I describe one such viable extension, the 331 model which predicts bileptonic gauge bosons.

Strong experimental indications exist that the top quark mass in the Standard Model (SM) exceeds the mass of the W gauge boson. Since this opens the decay mode t → Wb a suitable regularization of the top quark propagator in the s-channel is required in many tree reactions. As in the Z0 case this regularization essentially results in an. additional imaginary contribution (iΓtmt) to the propagator. This absorptive phase can combine with complex coupling constants of the charged current sector to give rise to new CP violating effects. Theoretical upper bounds for the size of these CP-odd signals are estimated in various extensions of the SM such as: the four generation SM, left-right symmetric models and models with two or three Higgs doublets.

We study for the first time the collider reach on the derivative Higgs portal, the leading effective interaction that couples a pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson (pNGB) scalar Dark Matter to the Standard Model. We focus on Dark Matter pair production through an off-shell Higgs boson, which is analyzed in the vector boson fusion channel. A variety of future high-energy lepton colliders as well as hadron colliders are considered, including CLIC, a muon collider, the High-Luminosity and High-Energy versions of the LHC, and FCC-hh. Implications on the parameter space of pNGB Dark Matter are discussed. In addition, we give improved and extended results for the collider reach on the marginal Higgs portal, under the assumption that the new scalars escape the detector, as motivated by a variety of beyond the Standard Model scenarios.

The prospects for discovering Higgs particles and studying their fundamental properties at future high-energy electron-positron and hadron colliders are reviewed. Both the Standard Model Higgs boson and the Higgs particles of its minimal supersymmetric extension are discussed. We update various results by taking into account the new value of the top-quark mass obtained by the CDF Collaboration, and by including radiative corrections, some of which have been calculated only recently.
