Introduction to the pure Higgs inflation: Lecture #1
- Kohei Kamada (University of Tokyo)
Description
In the first lecture, I will introduce the basics of the Higgs inflation with the non-minimal coupling to gravity, \xi H^2 R term. Then I explain its cosmological consequences and addresses the problems in the model, such as the Higgs vacuum stability and the unitarity problem.
