Contribution

It introduces a method based on vacuum correlators of gauge invariant operators to determine the Higgs mass, incorporating loop corrections.

Findings

Higgs mass estimated at ~125 GeV

Supports single Higgs doublet model

Incorporates one and two loop corrections

Abstract

We make the assumption that the vacuum correlators of the gauge invariant kinetic term of the Higgs doublet are the same before and after the spontaneous symmetry breaking of the theory. Based on this we determine the mass of the standard model Higgs boson at $m_h \approx 125.07$ GeV by considering one loop and the most relevant two loop corrections. This result might suggest that there is a single Higgs boson doublet that contributes to the electroweak symmetry breaking.
