Renormalization-group evolution can change a Higgs squared-mass parameter from positive at a high input scale to negative at lower scales, making a symmetry-breaking scalar expectation energetically favorable. In the Minimal supersymmetric Standard Model, the large top Yukawa coupling can drive the up-type Higgs soft squared mass downwards as the scale is lowered. Actual breaking also requires the other Higgs-potential parameters to give a stable suitable minimum; the running of one mass alone is not sufficient.
