MH in “allowed” region:
Mass in a narrow band (140-180 GeV) hints of cutoff not far from the Planck scale.
MH outside “allowed” region:
Large mass Higgs implies new non-perturbative physics.
Low mass Higgs can trigger an instability due to its large Yukawa coupling to the top quark.
Both imply the presence of higher dimensional non-renormalizable operators on the TeV scale, but with constraints from electroweak precision data.

The virtues of TC/ETC Dynamical explanation of EWS breaking Asymptotically free: no unnatural fine tuning needed no hierarchy problem (breaking scale naturally much smaller than cutoff) it is not trivial ETC provides insights to flavor physics
The problems of TC/ETC
o Flavor changing neutral currents (ETC)o Precision electroweak measurements (TC)o Large top quark mass
Possible solution: Walking TC
o Add flavor to approach conformal windowo Naive QCD scaling in flavors failso Must do non-perturbative (lattice) calculation.
