Abstract
I review the Higgs-Dilaton model: a scale-invariant extension of the Standard Model and gravity able to support inflation and dark energy with just an additional degree of freedom on top of the Standard Model content. Potential extensions of the simplest realization on the basis of transverse diffeomorphisms are also discussed.
