How Does the Higgs Boson Mass Impact Multiverse and Supersymmetry Theories?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The experimental value of the Higgs boson mass significantly constrains the parameter space of various supersymmetry (SUSY) theories, impacting their viability. However, the Higgs boson mass has no discernible effect on multiverse theories, which lack sufficient rigor to be classified as true theories. Notably, the Standard Model (SM) is positioned precisely on the vacuum stability/metastability line when considering the measured top and Higgs masses. Additionally, a remarkable correlation exists where the sum of the squares of all SM bosons' masses equals half the square of the Higgs vacuum expectation value (VEV) within a margin of 0.35%.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Higgs boson properties and measurements
  • Familiarity with supersymmetry (SUSY) theories
  • Knowledge of Standard Model (SM) physics
  • Basic grasp of vacuum stability and metastability concepts
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of Higgs boson mass on specific SUSY models
  • Explore the concept of vacuum stability in quantum field theory
  • Investigate correlations between particle masses in the Standard Model
  • Study the criticisms and developments in multiverse theories
USEFUL FOR

What are the consequences of the experimental value of the Higgs boson mass for theories of multiverse and supersymmetry?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
The Higgs boson mass significantly constrains the available parameter space of many supersymmetry theories. But, there isn't a really good compact way of describing that impact because there are so many versions of SUSY and so many free parameters in the theory.

It really has no obvious impact on theories of multiverse which really don't deserve the title of "theories" anyway.
 
Ok. Thank you so much. I still have a lot to study.
 
The most interesting (for me, can't speak for others) consequence of measured Higgs boson mass value is a few unexplained correlations:

With measured top and Higgs masses, SM sits right on vacuum stability/metastability line.
Sum of squares of all SM bosons' masses is equal to half of square of Higgs VEV to within 0.35%.
