Initial Conditions for Critical Higgs Inflation

Salvio, Alberto

Understand

It has been pointed out that a large non-minimal coupling $\xi$ between the Higgs and the Ricci scalar can source higher derivative operators, which may change the predictions of Higgs inflation.

A variant, called critical Higgs inflation, employs the near-criticality of the top mass to introduce an inflection point in the potential and lower drastically the value of $\xi$.
We here study whether critical Higgs inflation can occur even if the pre-inflationary initial conditions do not satisfy the slow-roll behaviour (retaining translation and rotation symmetries).
A positive answer is found: inflation turns out to be an attractor and therefore no fine-tuning of the initial conditions is necessary.
