A Quantum Leap for Cosmology
A theory that unites quantum mechanics and general relativity claims that there was no first moment in time, but it still agrees with the predictions of classical cosmology. |
A Review of Inflationary Cosmology
The aim of this lecture is to highlight two areas of recent progress in inflationary cosmology, namely reheating and the quantum theory of cosmological perturbations. |
A Simple Introduction to Pre-Big-Bang Physics/Cosmology
A simple, non-technical introduction to the pre-big bang scenario is given, emphasizing physical motivations, considerations, and consequences over formalism. |
Cosmic Topology
General relativity does not allow one to specify the topology of space, leaving the possibility that space is multi- rather than simply- connected. This paper reviews the mathematical properties of multi-connected spaces, and the different tools t |
Cosmological Models
The aim of this set of lectures is a systematic presentation of a 1+3 covariant approach to studying the geometry, dynamics, and observational properties of relativistic cosmological models. |
Cosmology
From the Official String Theory Website. Basic and advanced tutorials on the age and structure of the universe, the Big Bang, and the relation of string theory to cosmology. |
Cosmology II: From Planck Time to BBN
Progress in early Universe cosmology, including strings, extra dimensions, inflation, phase transitions, and baryogenesis, is reviewed. |
Dynamical Systems in Cosmology
A tutorial introducing the use of dynamical systems to study the large scale structure of the universe. |
Einstein-deSitter Model
An article on the Einstein-deSitter model of cosmology |
Elementary introduction to pre-big bang cosmology and to the relic graviton background
This is a contracted version of a series of lectures for graduate and undergraduate students |
Introduction to Cosmology
These notes form an introduction to cosmology with special emphasis on large scale structure, the cmb anisotropy and inflation. In some places a basic familiarity with particle physics is assumed, but otherwise no special knowledge is needed. |
Introduction to Cosmology
A set of postrscript lecture notes on the basic principles of cosmology. |
Introduction to Inflationary Cosmology
Introduction to cosmology and inflation by Scott Watson of Brown University. |
Mathematical Cosmology
A review of current unsolved problems in mathematical cosmology |
Minkowski Functionals in Cosmology
Minkowski functionals provide a novel tool to characterize the large-scale galaxy distribution in the Universe. Here we give a brief tutorial on the basic features of these morphological measures and indicate their practical application for s |
Multidimensional Gravity and Cosmology
A short review of recent results on exact solutions in multidimensional cosmology |
New Developments in Cosmology
A review of how the understanding of our Universe has evolved |
Physics 7: Relativity and Cosmology
A set of notes tracing the historical development of cosmology in a qualitative way. |
String Cosmology
A lecture on aspects of superstring theory and cosmology. |
The Possible Geometries for Space
A short article on the possible structures for space in the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker model |
Topology of the Universe
A thesis (in PDF format) which studies the possible topologies of the universe and their physical implications. |
University of Alberta Cosmology Program
Includes a staff list and a brief description of work done in that centre. |
What is Theoretical Cosmology
Theoretical cosmologists study the evolution and composition of the universe as a system, constructing theories and confronting them with experiments and observations |
