Abstract
Based on the two-loop RGE of standard model gauge, top-Yukawa as well as scalar quartic couplings with full one-loop gravitational contributions in harmonic gauge, we study the constraints on the Higgs and top quark mass from the requirement that the other degenerate vacua at the Planck-dominated region exists. Our numerical calculations show that nature will not develop the other degenerate vacua at the Planck-dominated region with current Higgs and top quark masses. On the other hand, requiring the existence of the other degenerate vacua at the Planck-dominated region will constrain the Higgs and top mass to lie at approximately 130 and 174 GeV, respectively.
