Overshooting, critical Higgs inflation and second order gravitational wave signatures
Abstract The self coupling $$\lambda $$ λ of the Higgs boson in the Standard Model may show critical behavior, i.e. the Higgs potential may have a point at an energy scale $$\sim 10^{17-18}$$ ∼ 10 17 - 18 GeV where both the first and second derivatives (almost) vanish. In this case the Higgs boson c...
