Abstract
In the framework of grand unifying theories, the requirement that no interaction becomes strong and no vacuum instability develops up to the unification energy is shown to imply upper bounds to the fermion masses as well as upper and lower bounds to the Higgs boson mass. These bounds are studied in detail for the case of the unifying groups SU(5) or O(10).Keywords
