The effective Higgs potential and vacuum decay in Starobinsky inflation
Andreas Mantziris, Tommi Markkanen, Arttu Rajantie
Based on the current experimental data, the Standard Model predicts that the current vacuum state of the Universe is metastable, leading to a non-zero rate of vacuum decay through…
Inflation without quantum gravity
Tommi Markkanen, Syksy Rasanen, Pyry Wahlman
It is sometimes argued that observation of tensor modes from inflation would provide the first evidence for quantum gravity. However, in the usual inflationary formalism, also the…
Spacetime curvature and the Higgs stability during inflation
Matti Herranen, Tommi Markkanen, Sami Nurmi +1
It has been claimed that the electroweak vacuum may be unstable during inflation due to large fluctuations of order in case of a high inflationary scale as suggested by BICEP2.…
