abstract

The recently suggested Festina-Lente (FL) bound provides a lower bound on the masses of ${\rm U(1)}$ charged particles in terms of the positive vacuum energy. Since the charged particle masses in the Standard Model (SM) are generated by the Higgs mechanism, the FL bound provides a testbed of consistent Higgs potentials in the current dark energy-dominated universe as well as during inflation. We study the implications of the FL bound on the UV behavior of the Higgs potential for a miniscule vacuum energy, as in the current universe. We also present values of the Hubble parameter and the Higgs vacuum expectation value allowed by the FL bound during inflation, which implies that the Higgs cannot stay at the electroweak scale during this epoch.

  1. De Sitter space constraints on brane tensions and couplings

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The Festina Lente bound on particle masses is generalized to p-branes with world-volume Chern-Simons couplings, giving tension bounds in de Sitter space that string theory D-branes satisfy.

  2. Quasinormal frequencies in Reissner-Nordstr\"om de Sitter black holes: constraints from space-time and scalar field parameters

    gr-qc 2025-01 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    For charged, massive scalar fields around Reissner-Nordström de Sitter black holes, the effective potential has a single barrier for ℓ≥1, and the critical mass below which damping is anomalous is ℓ-independent for zer...
