摘要: We suggest a path-integral formulation for the tunneling cosmological state, which admits consistent renormalization and group improvement in particle physics applications of quantum cosmology. apply this to inflationary cosmology driven by standard model Higgs boson playing role an inflaton with strong nonminimal coupling gravity. In way complete scenario is obtained, embraces formation initial conditions background form sharp probability peak distribution field ongoing generation cosmic microwave (CMB) spectrum on background. Formation based same mechanism underlies CMB was recently shown be compatible WMAP data mass range $135.6\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{GeV}\ensuremath{\lesssim}{M}_{\mathrm{H}}\ensuremath{\lesssim}184.5\text{ }\mathrm{GeV}$. This brings life convincing unification phenomenology model, inflation theory, observations.
