Description
I introduce the novel phenomena of CP-violating inflation in a non-minimal Higgs framework where the inflaton has a complex non-minimal coupling to gravity leading to CP-violation - a necessary source of the baryon asymmetry. I discuss the inflationary dynamics of such a framework and its implications for baryogenesis.
