Higgs inflation at the critical point
Higgs inflation can occur if the Standard Model (SM) is a self-consistent effective field theory up to inflationary scale. This leads to a lower bound on the Higgs boson mass, Mh ≥ Mcrit. If Mh is more than a few hundreds of MeV above the critical value, the Higgs inflation predicts the universal values of inflationary indexes, r ' 0.003 and ns ' 0.97, independently on the Standard Model parame...
متن کاملInflection-point Higgs Inflation
Inflection-point inflation is an interesting possibility to realize a successful slow-roll inflation when inflation is driven by a single scalar field with its initial value below the Planck mass (φI . MP l). In order for a renormalization group (RG) improved effective λφ4 potential to develop an inflection-point, the quartic coupling λ(φ) must exhibit a minimum with an almost vanishing value i...
متن کاملHiggs Dynamics during Inflation
With the discovery of the Higgs boson, and recent measurements from the BICEP2 collaboration indicating a tensor-to-scalar ratio of r = 0.20 −0.05[1], particle physics is now in an interesting position. The most precise measurements of the Higgs boson and top quark masses appear to show that the Electroweak vacuum is unstable under the fluctuations produced by inflation at the energy scale the ...

متن کاملOn the Naturalness of Higgs Inflation
We critically examine the recent claim that the Standard Model Higgs boson H could drive inflation in agreement with observations if |H|2 has a strong coupling ξ ∼ 10 to the Ricci curvature scalar. We first show that the effective theory approach upon which that claim is based ceases to be valid beyond a cutoff scale Λ = mp/ξ, where mp is the reduced Planck mass. We then argue that knowing the ...
