Higgs-Inflaton Potential in 5D Super Yang-Mills Theory |
We study the possibility that the Higgs and the inflaton are the same single field or cousins arising from the extra space components of some higher-dimensional gauge field. We take 5D supersymmetric gauge theory with a matter compactified on S^1 as a toy model and evaluate the one-loop contribution to the Higgs-inflaton potential. Our gauge-Higgs-inflaton unification picture applied to the gauge field of intermediate energy scale can explain the observed inflation parameters naturally. This is based on a paper, arXiv:0903.3637 [hep-th], which is to be published in Prog. Theor. Phys. |
