Abstract
The conventional interpretation of the one-loop effective potentials of the Higgs field in the standard model and the gravitino condensate in dynamically broken supergravity is that these theories are unstable at large field values. A ${ \mathcal P }{ \mathcal T }$-symmetric reinterpretation of these models at a quantum-mechanical level eliminates these instabilities and suggests the conjecture that these instabilities may also be tamed at the quantum-field-theory level.
