Yukawa coupling quantum corrections to the self couplings of the lightest MSSM Higgs boson

Abstract
A detailed analysis of the top-quark/squark quantum corrections to the lightest CP-even Higgs boson (h^0) self-couplings is presented in the MSSM. By considering the leading one-loop Yukawa-coupling contributions of O(m_t^4), we discuss the decoupling behaviour of these corrections when the top-squarks are heavy compared to the electroweak scale. As shown analytically and numerically, the large corrections can almost completely be absorbed into the h^0-boson mass. Our conclusion is that the h^0 self-couplings remain similar to the coupling of the SM Higgs boson for a heavy top-squark sector.
