We consider U(1) extensions of the standard model, with an extra complex scalar field and a Majorana-type neutrino Yukawa coupling. These additional couplings affect the renormalization group flow of the quartic couplings. We compute the beta-functions of the extended model at one-loop order in perturbation theory and study how the parameter space of the new scalar couplings can be constrained by the requirement of stable vacuum and perturbativity up to the Planck scale.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-02-07T19:00:02.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "standard model", "renormalization group flow", "extensions", "extra complex scalar field", "constraint" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
