Theoretical constraints on supersymmetric models: Perturbative unitarity vs. vacuum stability

There are nowadays strong experimental constraints on supersymmetric theories from the Higgs measurements as well as from the null results in Sparticle searches. However, even the parameter spaces which are in agreement with experimental data can be further constrained by using theoretical considera...
