A Heavy Higgs<br />

The constraints from top and W loops can be avoided if the Higgs<br />

mass itself is rather heavy. (The limit is below 1 TeV.)<br />

In this case, only Higgs self-couplings count. With increasing<br />

energy, the Higgs self-coupling becomes non-perturbative.<br />

The result is a Landau pole in the Higgs self-coupling at about<br />

Λ ∼ m H exp 8π2 v 2<br />

6m 2 H<br />

(Similarly, for a too light Higgs the top-loop drives the<br />

self-coupling negative at high energies.)<br />

Only for m H ∼ 130 GeV, these cutoffs can be pushed to infinity.
