We discuss how the Standard Model may become scale invariant at the quantum level above a certain value of the Higgs field value without addition of new degrees of freedom and analyze phenomenological and cosmological consequences of this setup, in particular, possible metastability of the electroweak vacuum and Higgs inflation.Astronomy & AstrophysicsPhysics, Particles & FieldsPhysicsprimordial black-holesmodel higgs-bosonconformal symmetrydark-matterinflationboundsmassesrenormalizationparticlevmsmtext::journal::journal article::research article
