In this letter we show that there is a unique non-minimal derivative coupling of the Standard Model Higgs boson to gravity such that: it propagates no more degrees of freedom than General Relativity sourced by a scalar field, reproduces a successful inflating background within the Standard Model Higgs parameters and, finally, does not suffer from dangerous quantum corrections.

  1. Inflation with nondynamic distortion to leading order in slow roll

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Nondynamic distortion integrated out of a 13-parameter metric-affine action sources the entire inflaton kinetic term; monomial models depend only on exponent ratio while α-attractors recover modified Starobinsky observables.

  2. Constraining inflation with nonminimal derivative coupling with the Parkes Pulsar Timing Array third data release

    gr-qc 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Using PPTA DR3 data, the authors report 90% constraints on the nonminimal derivative coupling inflation parameters φc, ωL, and σ, with Bayes factor 0.9 against a power-law background.

  3. Inflation with the Gauss-Bonnet term in the Palatini formulation

    astro-ph.CO 2026-03 accept novelty 5.0 of 10

    In Palatini gravity the inflaton–Gauss–Bonnet coupling yields a negative Chern–Simons-like kinetic correction and similar GW modifications, with metric-like behaviour unless the kinetic term nearly flips sign.

  4. Higgs-like inflation in scalar-torsion $f(T,\phi)$ gravity in light of ACT-SPT-DESI constraints

    gr-qc 2025-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Higgs-like inflation in f(T,φ) torsion gravity can accommodate the ACT/DESI upward shift in the scalar spectral index while predicting a tensor-to-scalar ratio r≈0.01–0.04.

  5. The Wave Function of the Universe and Inflation

    gr-qc 2025-10 reject novelty 3.0 of 10

    Rearranging the Wheeler-DeWitt equation defines the inflaton potential in terms of an arbitrary wave-function phase and amplitude; nothing constrains that wave function, so the potential is relabeled rather than deriv...
