Hybrid Higgs Inflation: The Use of Disformal Transformation
  We propose a hybrid type of the conventional Higgs inflation and new Higgs
inflation models. We perform a disformal transformation into the Einstein frame
and analyze the background dynamics and the cosmological perturbations in the
truncated model, in which we ignore the higher-derivative terms of the Higgs
field. From the observed power spectrum of the density perturbations, we obtain
the constraint on the non-minimal coupling constant $\xi$ and the mass
parameter $M$ in the derivative coupling. Although the primordial tilt $n_s$ in
the hybrid model barely changes, the tensor-to-scalar ratio $r$ moves from the
value in new Higgs inflationary model to that in the conventional Higgs
inflationary model as $|\xi|$ increases. We confirm our results by numerical
analysis by ADM formalism of the full theory in the Jordan frame.
