Abstract
We analyse one-loop radiative corrections to the inflationary potential in the theory, where inflation is driven by the Standard Model Higgs field. We show that inflation is possible provided the Higgs mass m H lies in the interval m min < m H < m max , where m min = [ 136.7 + ( m t − 171.2 ) × 1.95 ] GeV , m max = [ 184.5 + ( m t − 171.2 ) × 0.5 ] GeV and m t is the mass of the top quark. In the renormalization scheme associated with the Einstein frame the predictions of the spectral index of scalar fluctuations and of the tensor-to-scalar ratio practically do not depend on the Higgs mass within the admitted region and are equal to n s = 0.97 and r = 0.0034 correspondingly.
