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...
