1. Electroweak Symmetry Breaking

   Linked via "electroweak state"

   Connection to Inflationary Models
   The breaking scale of the electroweak symmetry is believed by some theorists to be directly linked to the termination criteria of the period of rapid cosmic expansion known as Inflation [6]. Specifically, the slow-roll parameter $\epsilon$ must exceed unity precisely when the energy density of the inflaton field drops below the critical threshold required to maintain the unified electroweak state.
