Anomalous non-conservation of fermion/chiral number in Abelian gauge theories at finite temperature
Daniel G. Figueroa, Mikhail Shaposhnikov
We discuss the non-conservation of fermion number (or chirality breaking, depending on the fermionic charge assignment) in Abelian gauge theories at finite temperature. We study di…
The Standard Model Higgs as the origin of the hot Big Bang
Daniel G. Figueroa, Christian T. Byrnes
If the Standard Model (SM) Higgs is weakly coupled to the inflationary sector, the Higgs is expected to be universally in the form of a condensate towards the end of inflation. The…
Preheating the Universe from the Standard Model Higgs
Daniel G. Figueroa
We discuss Preheating after an inflationary stage driven by the Standard Model (SM) Higgs field non-minimally coupled to gravity. We find that Preheating is driven by a complex pro…
Preheating in the Standard Model with the Higgs-Inflaton coupled to gravity
Juan Garcia-Bellido, Daniel G. Figueroa, Javier Rubio
We study the details of preheating in an inflationary scenario in which the Standard Model Higgs, strongly non-minimally coupled to gravity, plays the role of the inflaton. We find…
A Gravitational Wave Background from Reheating after Hybrid Inflation
Juan Garcia-Bellido, Daniel G. Figueroa, Alfonso Sastre
The reheating of the universe after hybrid inflation proceeds through the nucleation and subsequent collision of large concentrations of energy density in the form of bubble-like s…
