Loop correction for quartic Higgs coupling

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the loop correction for the quartic Higgs coupling, specifically focusing on the perturbativity constraints and the mathematical framework involved in calculating these corrections within quantum field theory (QFT).

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Mathematical reasoning

Main Points Raised

  • One participant questions the reasoning behind the perturbativity constraint on quartic couplings in the Higgs potential, referencing a specific equation from a paper.
  • Another participant suggests that the requirement for perturbativity stems from the series expansion in the perturbative framework, where higher-order terms must remain smaller than previous terms for convergence.
  • A request for clear references or notes on QFT calculations related to loop corrections for quartic vertices is made, indicating a desire for deeper understanding.
  • Participants discuss the relevance of the four-point Green function in the context of these calculations.
  • A link to a resource is provided, directing to specific pages that may contain relevant calculations and results.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express a shared interest in understanding the loop corrections and the associated calculations, but there is no consensus on the specifics of the reasoning or the methods involved.

Contextual Notes

There are references to specific equations and results in external literature, but the discussion does not resolve the underlying assumptions or the completeness of the mathematical steps involved in the calculations.

Hi all,

Has anyone an idea about the loop correction for quartic Higss coupling?

In [arXiv:1507.03618v2 [hep-ph]], equ. (13) it's pointed out that the perturbativity constrains on the quartic couplings in the Higgs potential is ## \lambda^2 < 16 \pi^2 ##
Which means that loop factor is ## \frac{\lambda^2}{(4 \pi)^2}##, but actually I don't why?

Any explanation or refernce about that ?

Is it something more than the fact that every order in the perturbative series goes like ##\left(\frac{\lambda^2}{16 \pi^2}\right)^n##, and so to be perturbative at all (for the series to converge or at minimum to have higher orders smaller than the previous) this requires that this factor must be less than one?

Or are you looking for an actual analytic explanation of how the calculation is done?
 
Yes please, I want some good and clear reference for QFT notes explain the calculations of the loop correction for a quaric vertex ..

Ok, is it the 4 point Green function ?

Thanx.
 
Yes, I think the calculations in equs. ( 47 ) and the result in (96), what I was looking for.
