Abstract
The acceleration of the expansion of the Universe, as it is indicated by observations of redshift of light coming from supernovas, anisotropies of cosmological microwave background radiation, and the large-scale structure of the Universe, defines one of the most interesting theoretical problems that is facing the modern cosmology. The aim of this work is to show the analysis of the idea that inflation and dark energy are two subjects closely related, that is, both equivalents to the fundamental scalar field known as the standard model Higgs field. We considered that there exist non-trivial solutions with non-minimal coupling of the Cosmological Higgs Field to gravity. For this condition, an attractive cosmological model was derived. Results from applying the dynamical stability analysis show that the current accelerated expansion of the Universe is one of several possibilities. The future behavior of the Universe could seriously affect the existence of particles and structures that we are made of. For that reason, it is important to do some comments on this idea.
