Adiabatic regularisation of power spectra in -inflation
We look at the question posed by Parker et al. about the effect of UV
regularisation on the power spectrum for inflation. Focusing on the slow-roll
-inflation, we show that up to second order in the Hubble and sound flow
parameters, the adiabatic regularisation of such model leads to no difference
in the power spectrum apart from certain cases that violate near scale
invariant power spectra. Furthermore, extending to non-minimal -inflation,
we establish the equivalence of the subtraction terms in the adiabatic
regularisation of the power spectrum in Jordan and Einstein frames.Comment: 17 pages; v2, typos corrected & reference added; v3, rewrote some

Meaning of the field dependence of the renormalization scale in Higgs inflation
We consider the prescription dependence of the Higgs effective potential
under the presence of general nonminimal couplings. We evaluate the fermion
loop correction to the effective action in a simplified Higgs-Yukawa model
whose path integral measure takes simple form either in the Jordan or Einstein
frame. The resultant effective action becomes identical in both cases when we
properly take into account the quartically divergent term coming from the
change of measure. Working in the counterterm formalism, we clarify that the
difference between the prescriptions I and II comes from the counter term to
cancel the logarithmic divergence. This difference can be absorbed into the
choice of tree-level potential from the infinitely many possibilities,
including all the higher-dimensional terms. We also present another mechanism
to obtain a flat potential by freezing the running of the effective quartic
coupling for large field values, using the nonminimal coupling in the gauge
kinetic function.Comment: 19 pages; version to appear in Phys. Rev. D; title changed according

Cosmological implications of Standard Model criticality and Higgs inflation
The observed Higgs mass indicates that the Standard Model can be valid up to
near the Planck scale . Within this framework, it is important to
examine how little modification is necessary to fit the recent experimental
results in particle physics and cosmology. As a minimal extension, we consider
the possibility that the Higgs field plays the role of inflaton and that the
dark matter is the Higgs-portal scalar field. We assume that the extended
Standard Model is valid up to the string scale . (This
translates to the assumption that all the non-minimal couplings are not
particularly large, , as in the critical Higgs inflation,
since .) We find a correlated
theoretical bound on the tensor-to-scalar ratio and the dark matter mass
. As a result, the Planck bound implies that the
dark-matter mass must be smaller than 1.1TeV, while the PandaX-II bound on the
dark-matter mass leads to . Both are within the range of near-future detection. When we
include the right-handed neutrinos of mass GeV, the
allowed region becomes wider, but we still predict in the
most of the parameter space. The most conservative bound becomes if
we allow three-parameter tuning of , , and the
top-quark mass.Comment: Title, Abstract, and Introduction rewritten; references added; some
