Asymptotic safety in the dark

Abstract We explore the Renormalization Group flow of massive uncharged fermions — a candidate for dark matter — coupled to a scalar field through a Higgs portal. We find that fermionic fluctuations can lower the bound on the scalar mass that arises from vacuum stability. Further, we discuss that de...
