Abstract

We describe how non-minimal coupling term between the Higgs boson and gravity can lead to the chaotic inflation in the Standard Model without introduction of any additional degrees of freedom. Produced cosmological perturbations are predicted to be in accordance with observations. The tensor modes of perturbations are practically vanishing in the model.
