Sumario: | We consider the renormalisation group flow of Higgs and Yukawa couplings within the simplest non--supersymmetric two Higgs doublet extension of the Standard Model (SM). In this model the couplings are adjusted so that the multiple point principle (MPP) assumption, which implies the existence of a large set of degenerate vacua at some high energy scale $\Lambda$, is realised. When the top quark Yukawa coupling at the scale $\Lambda$ is large, the solutions of RG equations in this MPP inspired 2 Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM) converge to quasi--fixed points. We analyse the Higgs spectrum and couplings in the quasi--fixed point scenario and compute a theoretical upper bound on the lightest Higgs boson mass. When the scale $\Lambda$ is low, the coupling of the SM--like Higgs scalar to the top quark can be significantly larger in the considered model than in the SM, resulting in the enhanced production of Higgs bosons at the LHC. |
