TL;DR
This paper proposes that quantum effects from a large non-minimal Higgs coupling can induce Starobinsky inflation, addressing early universe issues and confirming the stability of the inflationary potential.
Contribution
It introduces a Higgs-induced Starobinsky inflation mechanism via quantum effects, offering a novel approach to early universe cosmology.
Findings
Quantum corrections do not destabilize Starobinsky's potential.
Higgs non-minimal coupling can trigger inflationary dynamics.
Addresses viability of inflation in a metastable universe.
Abstract
In this paper we point out that Starobinky inflation could be induced by quantum effects due to a large non-minimal coupling of the Higgs boson to the Ricci scalar. The Higgs Starobinsky mechanism provides a solution to issues attached to large Higgs field values in the early universe which in a metastable universe would not be a viable option. We verify explicitly that these large quantum corrections do not destabilize Starobinsky's potential.
