Inflation in a modified radiative seesaw model

A radiative seesaw model with an inert doublet dark matter is a promising candidate which could explain the existence of neutrino masses, dark matter and baryon number asymmetry of the Universe, simultaneously. In addition to these issues, inflation should also be explained since the recent CMB observations suggest the existence of the inflationary era at the early stage of the Universe. Thus, we extend it by a complex scalar field with a specific potential. This scaler could also be related to the neutrino mass generation at a TeV scale. We show that the inflation favored by the CMB observations could be realized even if inflaton takes sub-Plankian values during inflation.
