Curvature induced running of the cosmological constant
Tommi Markkanen
In this work we investigate the renormalization group flow of the cosmological constant induced by the change in space-time curvature in the electroweak vacuum. We calculate th…

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.…
