Criticality in the scale invariant standard model (squared)

We consider first the standard model Lagrangian with μh2 Higgs potential term set to zero. We point out that this classically scale invariant theory potentially exhibits radiative electroweak/scale symmetry breaking with very high vacuum expectation value (VEV) for the Higgs field, 〈ϕ〉≈1017–18 GeV....
