Inflation from an effective standard model of particle physics for curved space-time
Tonatiuh Matos, Guillermo Arreaga, Gabriela Piccinelli
Abstract
Beginning from an effective theory in eight dimensions, Macias, Camacho and Matos proposed an effective model for the electroweak part of the Standard Model of particles in curved spacetime. Using this model, we investigate the cosmological consequences of the electroweak interaction in the early universe. We use the approximation that, near the Planck epoch, the Yang-Mills fields behave like a perfect fluid. Then we recover the field equations of inflationary cosmology, with the Higgs field directly related to the inflaton. We present some qualitative discussion about this and analyse the behavior of isospin space using some known exact solutions.
