The ATLAS and CMS experiments observed a particle at the LHC with a mass $approx 126$ GeV, which is compatible with the Higgs boson of the Standard Model. A crucial question is, if for such a Higgs mass value, one could extrapolate the model up to high scales while keeping the minimum of the scalar potential that breaks the electroweak symmetry stable. Vacuum stability requires indeed the Higgs boson mass to be $M_H gsim 129 pm 1$ GeV, but the precise value depends critically on the input top quark pole mass which is usually taken to be the one measured at the Tevatron, $m_t^{rm exp}=173.2 pm 0.9$ GeV. However, for an unambiguous and theoretically well-defined determination of the top quark mass one should rather use the total cross section for top quark pair production at hadron colliders. Confronting the latest predictions of the inclusive $p bar p to tbar t +X$ cross section up to next-to-next-to-leading order in QCD to the experimental measurement at the Tevatron, we determine the running mass in the $bar{rm MS}$-scheme to be $m_t^{bar{rm MS}}(m_t) = 163.3 pm 2.7$ GeV which gives a top quark pole mass of $m_t^{rm pole}= 173.3 pm 2.8$ GeV. This leads to the vacuum stability constraint $M_H geq 129.8 pm 5.6$ GeV to which a $approx 126$ GeV Higgs boson complies as the uncertainty is large. A very precise assessment of the stability of the electroweak vacuum can only be made at a future high-energy electron-positron collider, where the top quark pole mass could be determined with a few hundred MeV accuracy.

A general prediction from asymptotically safe quantum gravity is the approximate vanishing of all quartic scalar couplings at the UV fixed point beyond the Planck scale. A vanishing Higgs doublet quartic coupling near the Planck scale translates into
a prediction for the ratio between the mass of the Higgs boson $M_H$ and the top quark $M_t$. If only the standard model particles contribute to the running of couplings below the Planck mass, the observed $M_Hsim125,{rm GeV}$ results in the prediction for the top quark mass $M_tsim 171,{rm GeV}$, in agreement with recent measurements. In this work, we study how the asymptotic safety prediction for the top quark mass is affected by possible physics at an intermediate scale. We investigate the effect of a $SU(2)$ triplet scalar and right-handed neutrinos, needed to explain the tiny mass of left-handed neutrinos. For pure seesaw II, with no or very heavy right handed neutrinos, the top mass can increase to $M_tsim 172.5,{rm GeV}$ for a triplet mass of $M_Deltasim 10^8{rm GeV}$. Right handed neutrino masses at an intermediate scale increase the uncertainty of the predictions of $M_t$ due to unknown Yukawa couplings of the right-handed neutrinos and a cubic interaction in the scalar potential. For an appropriate range of Yukawa couplings there is no longer an issue of vacuum stability.
The discovery of the Higgs boson by the LHC and the measurement of its mass at around 125 GeV, taken together with the absence of signals of physics beyond the standard model, make it possible that we might live in a metastable electroweak vacuum. In
triguingly, we seem to be very close to the boundary of stability and this near-criticality makes our vacuum extremely long-lived. In this talk I describe the state-of-the-art calculation leading to these results, explaining what are the ingredients and assumptions that enter in it, with special emphasis on the role of the top mass. I also discuss possible implications of this metastability for physics beyond the standard model and comment on the possible impact of physics at the Planck scale on near-criticality.
Constituent quark masses can be determined quite well from experimental data in several ways and one can obtain fairly accurate values for all six $m_q$. The strong quark-meson coupling $g=2pi /sqrt{3}$ arises from the quark-level linear $sigma$ mode
l, whereas $e$ and $sintheta_w$ arise from weak interactions when the heavy $M_W$ and $M_Z$ are regarded as resonances in analogy with the strong KSFR relation. The Higgs boson mass, tied to null expectation value of charged Higgs components, is found to be around 317 GeV. Finally, the experimental CPV phase angle $delta$ and the three CKM angles $Theta_c, Theta_2, Theta_3$ are successfully deduced from the 6 constituent quark masses following Fritzschs approach.
One way to probe new physics beyond standard model is to check the correlation among higher dimension operators in effective field theory. We examine the strong correlation between the processes of $pprightarrow tHq$ and $pprightarrow tq$ which both
depend on the same three operators. The correlation indicates that, according to the data of $pprightarrow tq$, $sigma_{tHq}=big[106.8 pm 64.8big]~{rm fb}$ which is far below the current upper limit $sigma_{tHq}leq 900~{rm fb}$.
After the recent discovery of a neutral Higgs boson with a mass about 125 GeV, we assess the extend of discovery potential of future circular hadron collider (FCC-hh) for a charged Higgs boson in the bottom and top quark decay channel. The charged Hi
ggs boson can be produced through the pp->h^{-}t+X process with a subsequent decay h^{-}->b bar{t} channel. This decay channel is particularly important for studying the charged Higgs boson heavier than the top quark. We consider an extension of the standard model Higgs sector, namely two Higgs doublet model (2HDM), and perform a dedicated signal significance analysis to test this channel for the FCC-hh running at the center of mass energy of 100 TeV and the integrated luminosity of 1 ab^{-1} (initial) and 30 ab^{-1} (ultimate). We find that an important part of the parameter spaces of two Higgs doublet model are examinable at the FCC-hh.
