Abstract
A general quartic potential invariant under a group G and containing any number of scalar fields in arbitrary representations is shown to have a mass spectrum at the symmetrybreaking global minimum satisfying AMA2vA2<~2 (AvA2)2, where vA is the vacuum expectation value of the Ath mass eigenfield with any singlet removed. For SU(2) U(1) with arbitrary Higgs particles this guarantees that the lightest neutral scalar boson will satisfy Mmin2<2GF= (350 GeV)2 where is a particular quartic coupling constant.
