Description
In this talk I will discuss the stability of the electroweak vacuum in the Standard Model. After a brief review, I will discuss in detail (i) the impact of non-zero neutrino masses and (ii) the importance of thermal corrections in the early Universe, with a special emphasis on their cosmological role.
