Higgs inflation on the brane    [PDF]

Dagoberto Escobar

We analyze the slow-roll inflation mechanism in brane framework with a real Higgs field confined on the brane. We prove that inflation occur for field value below the 4-dimensional Planck scale and produce cosmological perturbations in accordance with observations. Through the amplitude of the scalar perturbation produced during inflation we could determine the self-coupling constant of the Higgs field which is not predicted by the fundamental theories. Also it was found the solutions to the motion equations on the brane.
