Boundedness from below conditions for a general scalar potential of two real scalars fields and the Higgs boson
Abstract
The most general scalar potential of two real scalar fields and a Higgs boson is a quartic homogeneous polynomial about 3 variables, which defines a 4th order 3 dimensional symmetric tensor. Hence, the boundedness from below of such a scalar potential involves the positive (semi-)definiteness of the corresponding tensor. So, we mainly discuss analytical expressions of positive (semi-)definiteness for such a special 4th order 3-dimension symmetric tensor in this paper. Firstly, an analytically necessary and sufficient condition is given to test the positive (semi-)definiteness of a 4th order 2 dimensional symmetric tensor. Furthermore, by means of such a result, the necessary and sufficient conditions of the boundedness from below are obtained for a general scalar potential of two real scalar fields and the Higgs boson.
