abstract

We find analytical vacuum stability or bounded below conditions for general scalar potentials of a few fields. After a brief review of copositivity we go beyond it. We discuss the vacuum stability conditions of the general potential of two real scalars, without and with the Higgs boson included in the potential. As further examples, we give explicit vacuum stability conditions for the two Higgs doublet model with no explicit CP breaking, and for the $\mathbb{Z}_{3}$ scalar dark matter with an inert doublet and a complex singlet. We give a short overview of positivity conditions for tensors of quartic couplings via tensor eigenvalues. A Mathematica notebook with the conditions is included with the source files.

  1. Beyond a symmetry-restricted VEV ansatz: transverse stability of an $SU(5)$ special-subgroup vacuum

    hep-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    In an SU(5) Higgs sector, two portal couplings that coincide on the symmetry-preserving vacuum ansatz decide differently the stability of color–weak fluctuations, turning an identical candidate vacuum from a minimum i...

  2. Radiative Neutrino Mass in a Nonholomorphic $T'$ Modular Invariant Model

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    A nonholomorphic T' modular model realizes the T4-2-i one-loop topology for radiative Majorana neutrino masses, forbids tree-level seesaws via modular assignments, stabilizes DM with residual Z2, and fits oscillation ...

  3. Exploring Fermionic Dark Matter in the Presence of Scalar Leptoquarks

    hep-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A vector-like lepton dark matter model with two inert scalar leptoquarks produces a radiative pseudo-Dirac mass splitting that evades direct detection and opens up parameter space for the correct relic density.

  4. Unveiling the inert Triplet desert region with a pNGB Dark Matter and its Gravitational Wave signatures

    hep-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A two-component dark matter model combining an inert scalar triplet with a pseudo-Goldstone singlet revives the sub-TeV triplet desert region and predicts gravitational waves detectable by LISA, BBO, and DECIGO.

  5. Two-real-scalar-singlet extension of the SM: LHC phenomenology and benchmark scenarios

    hep-ph 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The two-real-singlet extension of the Standard Model can produce sizable rates for asymmetric and cascade Higgs-to-Higgs decays at the LHC, and the paper supplies six benchmark planes for those signatures.

  6. Dark Matter Escaping Direct Detection Runs into Higgs Mass Hierarchy Problem

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    TeV-scale Higgs-portal dark matter produces Higgs mass corrections larger than the measured Higgs mass, which excludes most such WIMPs except near half the Higgs mass.

  7. The Alternative Left-Right Scenario: Unitarity, Vacuum Stability and RG Evolution

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Renormalization group evolution in the Alternative Left-Right Model restricts the allowed quartic couplings and yields upper bounds on extended Higgs scalar masses for theoretical consistency up to 10^16 GeV.
