We refine and update the metastability constraint on the Standard Model top and Higgs masses, by analytically including gravitational corrections to the vacuum decay rate. Present best-fit ranges of the top and Higgs masses mostly lie in the narrow metastable region. Furthermore, we show that the SM potential can be fine-tuned in order to be made suitable for inflation. However, SM inflation results in a power spectrum of cosmological perturbations not consistent with observations.

  1. Thermal false vacuum decay near black holes is aspherical

    gr-qc 2026-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    False vacuum decay near a thermal Schwarzschild black hole is dominated by aspherical critical bubbles for intermediate sizes and by horizon-riding Fubini-Lipatov bounces for large sizes.

  2. Magnetic Anti-de Sitter Wormholes as seeds for Higgs Inflation

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Magnetic AdS wormholes, combined with a metastable Higgs potential, can seed hilltop Higgs inflation consistent with observed CMB parameters.
