On Quadratic Divergences and the Higgs Mass
Abstract
The quadratic divergences in the scalar sector of the standard model are considered. Since the divergences are present also in the unbroken theory, a natural scale for the divergence formula is proposed to be at the scale of new physics. The implications of top quark mass on the Higgs mass are investigated by means of the renormalization group equations. The Coleman-Weinberg mechanism for spontaneous symmetry breaking is also considered.
