On Stability of the Electroweak Vacuum and the Higgs Portal
read the original abstract
In the Standard Model (SM), the Higgs mass around 125 GeV implies that the electroweak vacuum is metastable since the quartic Higgs coupling turns negative at high energies. I point out that a tiny mixing of the Higgs with a heavy singlet can make the electroweak vacuum completely stable. This is due to a tree level correction to the Higgs mass-coupling relation, which survives in the zero-mixing/heavy-singlet limit. Such a situation is experimentally indistinguishable from the SM, unless the Higgs self-coupling can be measured. As a result, Higgs inflation and its variants can still be viable.

Stochastic Gravitational Waves from Modulated Reheating
A spectator scalar in modulated reheating with large Higgs-like couplings generates detectable scalar-induced stochastic gravitational waves for BBO and DECIGO, but only outside perturbative low-energy extrapolations.

Constraints on a Light Singlet Scalar from Combined Exotic Higgs Decays
Requiring exotic Higgs decays to two or three light singlet scalars not to exceed the SM Higgs width yields cos θ < 0.12-0.13 for m_φ < 40 GeV, with predicted rate limits Γ(h→φφ) < 0.06 MeV and Γ(h→φφφ) < 5×10^{-6} Me...
