Inflation and the Higgs Scalar

Abstract: This note makes a self-contained exposition of the basic facts of big bang cosmology as they relate to inflation. The fundamental problems with that model are then explored. A simple scalar model of inflation is evaluated which provides the solution of those problems and makes predictions which will soon be definitively tested. The possibility that the recently discovered fundamental Higgs scalar field drives inflation is explored.

“…The purpose of this appendix is to try to understand the quantum origin of the density perturbations that are observed in the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation, which are the of galaxy formation and of the large-scale structure of the universe. This derivation is outlined in [23]. For rigorous derivations see [1] [13], or [14].…”

“…In this study, we develop a method of creating an example database using information about a user acquired through a web search. When generating example phrases using the database, we propose using word2vec operations [5]- [9] to substitute user specific information into the example phrases [23]. Simply replacing words in example phrases with user-related words can result in appropriate phrases, however.…”
