Abstract

We study vacuum stability of supersymmetric extended Higgs sectors with a discrete Z₂ symmetry. These models may be able to explain dark matter, neutrino masses, baryon asymmetry of the Universe and hierarchy problem simultaneously at the TeV scale. This Z₂ symmetry could be broken spontaneously. We examine the stability of the Z₂ symmetric vacuum at the tree level in several models with such extended Higgs sectors.
