A. The parameters of the potential #

We define a type for the parameters of the Higgs potential in the 2HDM.

We follow the convention of 1605.03237, which is highlighted in the explicit construction of the potential itself.

We relate these parameters to the ξ and η parameters used in the gram vector formalism given in arXiv:hep-ph/0605184.

        A.3. Specific cases #

        An example of potential parameters that serve as a counterexample to the stability condition given in arXiv:hep-ph/0605184. This corresponds to the potential: 2 * (⟪H.Φ1, H.Φ2⟫_ℂ).im + ‖H.Φ1 - H.Φ2‖ ^ 4 which has the property that the quartic term is non-negative and only zero if the mass term is also zero, but the potential is not stable. In the proof that stabilityCounterExample_not_potentialIsStable, we give explicit vectors H.Φ1 and H.Φ2 that show this potential is not stable.

        This is the first occurrence of such a counterexample in the literature to the best of the author's knowledge.

                      E.6. Strong stability implies stability #

                      Stability in terms of the positivity of the quartic term, implies that the whole potential is stable.

                      The potential is stable if it is strongly stable, i.e. its quartic term is always positive. The proof of this result relies on the compactness of the closed unit ball in EuclideanSpace ℝ (Fin 3), and the extreme value theorem.
