Higgs vacuum stability and modified chaotic inflation

The issue of electroweak vacuum stability is studied in presence of a scalar field which participates in modifying the minimal chaotic inflation model. It is shown that the threshold effect on the Higgs quartic coupling originating from the Higgs–inflaton sector interaction can essentially make the...
