Stability and UV completion of the Standard Model

The knowledge of the stability condition of the electroweak (EW) vacuum is of the greatest importance for our understanding of beyond Standard Model (BSM) physics. It is widely believed that new physics that lives at very high energy scales should have no impact on the stability analysis. This expectation has been recently challenged, but the results were controversial as new physics was given in terms of non-renormalizable higher order operators. Here we consider for the first time a renormalizable (toy) UV completion of the SM, and definitely show that such a decoupling does not take place. This result has important phenomenological consequences, providing a very useful test for BSM theories. In particular, it shows that speculations based on the so called "criticality" do not appear to be well founded.
