Unification of inflation and dark matter in the Higgs–Starobinsky model

Unification of inflation and dark matter in the Higgs–Starobinsky model

In this work, we propose unified picture of inflation and dark matter in the Higgs–Starobinsky (HS) model. As pointed out in the literature, Starobinsky $$R^2$$ inflation is induced by quantum correction effect from the large Higgs-curvature (graviton) coupling. We start with non-minimal coupling HS action in Jordan frame. We then …
