论文摘要
我们审查并讨论了最近的工作,探讨了希格斯领域对早期宇宙宇宙学的影响,反之亦然。根据所考虑的模型,希格斯可能是确定宇宙演化和命运的少数标量场之一,或者希格斯字段可以连接到具有复杂动力学的标量模量的丰富扇区。特别是,我们研究了希格斯场对通货膨胀及其预测的潜在后果,标准模型真空的(元)稳定性以及景观中动态选择机制的存在。
We review and discuss recent work exploring the implications of the Higgs field for early universe cosmology, and vice versa. Depending on the model under consideration the Higgs may be one of a few scalar fields determining the evolution and fate of the Universe, or the Higgs field may be connected to a rich sector of scalar moduli with complicated dynamics. In particular we look at the potential consequences of the Higgs field for inflation and its predictions, for the (meta)stability of the Standard Model vacuum, and for the existence of dynamical selection mechanisms in the landscape.
