Large $N$ analysis of the Higgs mass triviality bound

Abstract

We calculate the triviality bound on the Higgs mass in scalar field theory models whose global symmetry group $SU(2{)}_L\times SU(2{)}_{\mathrm{custodial}}\approx O(4)$ has been replaced by $O(N)$ and $N$ has been taken to infinity. Limits on observable cutoff effects at four percent in several regularized models with tunable couplings in the bare action yield triviality bounds displaying a large degree of universality. Extrapolating from $N=\infty$ to $N=4$ we conservatively estimate that a Higgs particle with mass up to $0.750TeV$ and width up to $0.290TeV$ is realizable without large cutoff effects, indicating that strong scalar self interactions in the standard model are not ruled out.
