Scalaron-Higgs inflation — •Christian Steinwachs — University of Freiburg, Germany

After discussing various theoretical properties of scalar field theories in curved spacetime from an effective field theory point of view, I propose a concrete model that offers a unified description of inflationary cosmology, dark matter, and elementary particle physics at the electroweak scale. Except for a non-minimal coupling of the Standard Model Higgs boson to a modified gravitational sector, no new physics is required.
