The paper says

“This fine-tuning (unrelated to quadratic divergences) is the entire responsibility of the ultraviolet theory and remains as the missing ingredient to provide a full solution to the hierarchy problem.”

Abstract

In this paper we have considered the possibility that the Standard Model, and its minimal extension with the addition of singlets, merges with a high-scale supersymmetric theory at a scale satisfying the Veltman condition and therefore with no sensitivity to the cutoff. The matching of the Standard Model is achieved at Planckian scales. In its complex singlet extension the matching scale depends on the strength of the coupling between the singlet and Higgs fields. For order one values of the coupling, still in the perturbative region, the matching scale can be located in the TeV ballpark. Even in the absence of quadratic divergences there remains a finite adjustment of the parameters in the high-energy theory which should guarantee that the Higgs and the singlets in the low-energy theory are kept light. This fine-tuning (unrelated to quadratic divergences) is the entire responsibility of the ultraviolet theory and remains as the missing ingredient to provide a full solution to the hierarchy problem.

  • In order to make a link with the pole top mass value $M_t$, we note that: i) According to Ref. [ref] the pole top mass value is just about $10.0$ GeV larger than the running top mass; ii) According to the most recent analysis of Ref. [ref] the top pole mass mean value obtained by combining the latest data from ATLAS, CMS and CDF is $M_t = 173.36 ±0.65 ±0.3$ GeV at $1σ$, where the last uncertainty is of theoretical origin and it is due to non-perturbative effects of order $Λ_QCD$.
