Embedding inflation into the Standard Model โ€” More evidence for classical scale invariance

Embedding inflation into the Standard Model โ€” More evidence for classical scale invariance

If cosmological inflation is due to a slowly rolling single inflation field taking trans-Planckian values as suggested by the BICEP2 measurement of primordial tensor modes in CMB, embedding inflation into the Standard Model challenges standard paradigm of effective field theories. Together with an apparent absence of Planck scale contributions to โ€ฆ
