Inflation, LHC and the Higgs boson

After the Higgs boson has been discovered, the Standard Model of particle physics became a confirmed theory, potentially valid up to the Planck scale and allowing one to trace the evolution of the Universe from the inflationary stage till the present days. ...

Cosmological constraints on deviations from Lorentz invariance in gravity and dark matter

Julien Lesgourgues, Sergey Sibiryakov, Diego Blas Temino, Mikhail Ivanov, Benjamin Audren

We consider a scenario where local Lorentz invariance is violated by the existence of a preferred time direction at every space-time point. This scenario can arise in the context of quantum gravity and its description at low energies contains a unit time-l ...

Higgs-Dilaton cosmology: Universality versus criticality

Javier Rubio

The Higgs-Dilaton model is able to produce an early inflationary expansion followed by a dark energy dominated era responsible for the late time acceleration of the Universe. At tree level, the model predicts a small tensor-to-scalar ratio (0.0021

Kinetic initial conditions for inflation

Sylvain Bréchet

We consider the classical evolution of the inflaton field and the Hubble parameter in homogeneous and isotropic single-field inflation models. Under an extremely broad assumption, we show that the Universe generically emerges from an initial singularity in ...

Higgs-dilaton cosmology: An effective field theory approach

Georgios Karananas, Javier Rubio

The Higgs-dilaton cosmological model is able to describe simultaneously an inflationary expansion in the early Universe and a dark energy dominated stage responsible for the present day acceleration. It also leads to a nontrivial relation between the spect ...

Higgs inflation: consistency and generalisations

Sergey Sibiryakov, Amaury Magnin

We analyse the self-consistency of inflation in the Standard Model, where the Higgs field has a large non-minimal coupling to gravity. We determine the domain of energies in which this model represents a valid effective field theory as a function of the ba ...

Late and early time phenomenology of Higgs-dependent cutoff

The analysis of theories with non-minimal coupling of Higgs field to gravity revealed that they enter into strong coupling regime above certain Higgs-dependent cutoff, which may be considerably below the Planck scale. Assuming that the effective theory, co ...

Technically natural dark energy from Lorentz breaking

Sergey Sibiryakov, Diego Blas Temino

We construct a model of dark energy with a technically natural small contribution to cosmic acceleration, i.e. this contribution does not receive corrections from other scales in the theory. The proposed acceleration mechanism appears generically in the lo ...

Higgs-dilaton cosmology: From the early to the late Universe

Javier Rubio

We consider a minimal scale-invariant extension of the standard model of particle physics combined with unimodular gravity formulated in [M. Shaposhnikov and D. Zenhausern, Phys. Lett. B 671, 187 (2009).]. This theory is able to describe not only an inflat ...

On initial conditions for the Hot Big Bang

We analyse the process of reheating the Universe in the electroweak theory where the Higgs field plays a role of the inflaton. We estimate the maximal temperature of the Universe and fix the initial conditions for radiation-dominated phase of the Universe ...
