论文摘要

对于由Higgs场驱动的通货膨胀率与重力耦合,我们研究了扰动理论分解的截止能量量表。使用度量公式,我们首先概述已知结果,然后提供一种计算截止下界限的新方法。我们的方法既不依赖于量规选择,也不需要对振幅进行任何计算。取而代之的是,它利用了S-Matrix在字段重新定义下不变的事实。与以前的发现一致,我们证明,通货膨胀期间的截止值明显高于真空,这确保了半古典预测的稳健性。一路上,我们将发现概括为Palatini公式,并在两种情况下对Higgs Doublet的有用参数化发表评论。

For inflation driven by the Higgs field coupled non-minimally to gravity, we study the cutoff energy scale above which perturbation theory breaks down. Employing the metric formulation, we first give an overview of known results and then provide a new way to calculate a lower bound on the cutoff. Our approach neither relies on a gauge choice nor does it require any calculation of amplitudes. Instead, it exploits the fact that the S-matrix is invariant under field redefinitions. In agreement with previous findings, we demonstrate that the cutoff is significantly higher during inflation than in vacuum, which ensures the robustness of semi-classical predictions. Along the way, we generalize our findings to the Palatini formulation and comment on a useful parametrization of the Higgs doublet in both scenarios.
