Higgs potential ( ) 2 V (Φ) = m 2 Φ Φ + λ Φ Φ LHC has discovered the standard model Higgs boson with m h = 125.09 ± 0.21 ± 0.11 GeV. λ is smaller than was expected. Due to quantum correction, the λ can be very small or even be negative at scale φ 10 12 GeV. With such small λ, Higgs field can obtain large VEV during inflation. The relaxation of such large VEV after inflation can lead to interesting consequence in cosmology. Leptogenesis Leptogenesis via the Relaxation of Higgs and other Scalar Fields (slide 6) PACIFIC 2016

3. Effective Chemical Potential Dine et. al. (1991) Cohen, Kaplan, Nelson (1991) During the relaxation, the scalar field can be sensitive to higher dimensional operators. We consider the couplings between the derivative of φ and j µ B+L like L 6 = 1 ( Mn 2 µ φ 2) j µ B+L or L 5 = 1 ( µ φ) j µ B+L M n j µ B+L : the B + L ferimion current M n : new energy scale when the operator is relevant.

Isocurvature perturbations only in small scales For small scales (k 0.1 Mpc 1 ), CMB is limited by Silk damping (photon diffusion damping). Isocurvature perturbation in small scales (k 0.1 Mpc 1 ) is allowed. If the scalar field φ is massive (m φ H I ) at the beginning of the inflation, but becomes light (m φ < H I ) later, then the quantum fluctuation can only grow in the late time.

The absolute intensity of CIB is difficult to be determined due to the large uncertainty associated with the foreground signal, Galactic components, and zodiacal light. Therefore, recent measurements focus on the anisotropies (spatial fluctuation) of CIB. Leptogenesis via the Relaxation of Higgs and other Scalar Fields (slide 26) PACIFIC 2016

Summary During inflation, scalar fields can obtain large VEVs through quantum fluctuation. Relaxation of the large VEV generally happens during the reheating after inflation. Through the derivative coupling between the scalar field and lepton current, leptogenesis can be possible, explaining the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe. This can generate additional baryonic isocurvature perturbations, which is not constrainted in the small angular scale by CMB observation. Isocurvature perturbation in small scale can then lead to first star forming earlier than what is expected from ΛCDM. This can be the origin of the excess in CIB fluctuations.
