For the current central values of the Higgs boson and top quark masses, the standard model Higgs potential develops an instability at a scale of the order of 10^{11} GeV. We show that a cosmological signature of such instability could be dark matter in the form of primordial black holes seeded by Higgs fluctuations during inflation. The existence of dark matter might not require physics beyond the standard model.
对于当前的希格斯玻色子和顶夸克质量的中心值，标准模型希格斯势在大约 10^{11}GeV 的尺度上表现出不稳定性。我们表明，这种不稳定性的宇宙学特征可能是原初黑洞形式的暗物质，这些暗物质是由希格斯涨落在暴胀期间产生的。暗物质的存在可能不需要超出标准模型的物理。
