abstract
The properties of the recently discovered Higgs boson together with the absence of new physics at collider experiments allows us to speculate about consistently extending the Standard Model of particle physics all the way up to the Planck scale. In this context, the Standard Model Higgs non-minimally coupled to gravity could be responsible for the symmetry properties of the Universe at large scales and for the generation of the primordial spectrum of curvature perturbations seeding structure formation. We overview the minimalistic Higgs inflation scenario, its predictions, open issues and extensions and discuss its interplay with the possible metastability of the Standard Model vacuum.

Inflaton-gluon coupling enables isocurvature-free QCD axion dark matter via early confinement and selects plateau inflation (p≥2) over monomial models.
Gravitational scalar production yields reheating-dependent constraints on dark matter scalars, with dilution preserving viability for k<4 low-temperature reheating and factorization in multi-stage cases.
A dark U(1)_D model with dark Higgs inflation and low reheating allows dark photon dark matter to achieve the observed relic density for a wider range of couplings, with inflation predictions matching Planck, BICEP/Keck and ACT data.
The Standard Model extended by n vector-like quarks and one right-handed neutrino stabilizes the Higgs quartic to the Planck scale, produces viable neutrino masses via Type-I seesaw, and yields inflationary observables n_s and r consistent with Planck and ACT data.
Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet corrections with exponential or sech couplings shift quintessential inflation into the 1 sigma ACT region for r and ns, while tanh coupling remains disfavored.
