DESCRIPTION:For a narrow band of values of the top quark and Higgs boson m
 asses\, the Standard Model Higgs potential can develop a false minimum at 
 energies of about 10^15-10^16 GeV\, where primordial Inflation could have 
 happened. I will present two mechanisms to achieve a successful transition
  from Inflation to a radiation dominated era: by adding a Brans-Dicke scal
 ar to gravity or by introducing a hybrid model with a new scalar very weak
 ly coupled to the Higgs. This has been predicted to happen only for a narr
 ow window of values for the Higgs mass\, of about (126 +- 3) GeV\, which h
 as been confirmed by the Higgs boson discovery at 125 GeV. We discuss the 
 features of the models and point out that they can be further checked with
 : more precise measurements of the top quark mass and by cosmological obse
 rvables (especially the tensor-to-scalar ratio).\n\nhttps://indico.ific.uv
