Instability of the electroweak vacuum in Starobinsky inflation

Abstract We study the stability of the electroweak vacuum during and after the Starobinky inflation, assuming the existence of the non-minimal Higgs coupling to the Ricci scalar. In the Starobinsky inflation, there exists R 2 term (with R being the Ricci scalar), which modifies the evolution equatio...
