According to the standard model, a Higgs field (named after a Scottish physicist Peter Higgs) is a cosmological field that permeates the entire universe. This field is supposed to be responsible for the genesis of inertial mass (and, because of Einstein's equivalence principle, gravitational

The two could be part of the same phenomenon in a local geometry (thus permitting so-called Casimatter, which implies an antigravity effect). IOW this does not have to be related to some kind of Hubble scale effect, based on Universal expansion as the accelerating force. That is - if there is
