Standard model criticality prediction top mass 173 ± 5 GeV and Higgs mass 135 ± 9 GeV

Abstract Imposing the constraint that the Standard Model effective Higgs potential should have two degenerate minima (vacua), one of which should be — order of magnitude wise — at the Planck scale, leads to the top mass being 173 ± 5 GeV and the Higgs mass 135 ± 9 GeV. This requirement of the degeneracy of different phases is a special case of what we call the multiple point criticality principle. In the present work we use the Standard Model all the way to the Planck scale, and do not introduce supersymmetry or any extension of the Standard Model gauge group. A possible model to explain the multiple point criticality principle is lack of locality fundamentally.
