Abstract

The standard Model Higgs scalar boson minimally coupled to gravity does not take part in the inflation of the early universe if its mass exceeds a threshold value, which is m min H = 142 GeV in the tree approximation for the potential of the scalar. Two-loop corrections modify this estimate, which becomes m min H = 150 ± 3 GeV. Therefore, higher order corrections of perturbation theory have quite a controllable moderate character, but they are numerically important for experiments.
