Description
Using the Standard Model Higgs as the inflation is attractively economical. However, there are complications both on the side of quantum corrections and gravity. I will discuss possibilities and problems due to such complications. In particular I will cover how Higgs inflation can be used to distinguish between different gravitational degrees of freedom to find what spacetime is made of.
