We find analytical vacuum stability or bounded below conditions for general scalar potentials of a few fields. After a brief review of copositivity we go beyond it. We discuss the vacuum stability conditions of the general potential of two real scalars, without and with the Higgs boson included in the potential. As further examples, we give explicit vacuum stability conditions for the two Higgs doublet model with no explicit CP breaking, and for the $\mathbb{Z}_{3}$ scalar dark matter with an inert doublet and a complex singlet. We give a short overview of positivity conditions for tensors of quartic couplings via tensor eigenvalues. A Mathematica notebook with the conditions is included with the source files.

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A nonholomorphic T' modular model realizes the T4-2-i one-loop topology for radiative Majorana neutrino masses, forbids tree-level seesaws via modular assignments, stabilizes DM with residual Z2, and fits oscillation ...

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Renormalization group evolution in the Alternative Left-Right Model restricts the allowed quartic couplings and yields upper bounds on extended Higgs scalar masses for theoretical consistency up to 10^16 GeV.
