  • Inflationary Cosmology Revisitedby Julio A Gonzalo

    World Scientific 2005; US$ 65.00

    Scientific Cosmology is clearly one of the most active physics research fields at present, and likely to remain so in the near future. Shortly after the pioneering cosmological work of Einstein, Georges Lemaitre proposed a model which some years later to be known as the big-bang model. In the early fifties an alternative proposal, the so called steady-state (expansion at constant density) model, became the fashionable model in prominent academic circles. The discovery of the cosmic background microwave radiation (Penzias & Wilson, 1965) made the steady-state model almost untenable. A quarter of a century later the inflationary model was proposed, becoming extraordinarily popular almost immediately. For some it seemed to combine attractive features... more...

  • Introduction to the Theory of the Early Universeby Dmitry S. Gorbunov; Valery A. Rubakov

    World Scientific 2011; US$ 203.00

    This book accompanies another book by the same authors, "Introduction to the Theory of the Early Universe: Hot Big Bang Theory" and presents the theory of the evolution of density perturbations and relic gravity waves, theory of cosmological inflation and post-inflationary reheating. Written in a pedagogical style, the main chapters give a detailed account of the established theory, with derivation of formulas. Being self-contained, it is a useful textbook for advanced undergraduate students and graduate students. Essential materials from General Relativity, theory of Gaussian random fields and quantum field theory are collected in the appendices. The more advanced topics are approached similarly in a pedagogical way. These parts... more...

  • Il fascino oscuro Dell’inflazioneby Pietro Fre

    Springer 2009; US$ 29.95

    dalla pi remota antichit che l uomo si interroga sulla struttura dell Universo e sulle leggi che lo governano. Ma il progresso compiuto all inizio del XX secolo non ha paragoni rispetto a quello di tutti i secoli precedenti: nel 1915 venne formulata la relativit generale, indispensabile per inquadrare i fenomeni cosmici e astrofisici; tra il 1920 e il 1930 furono determinate le reali dimensioni dell Universo visibile e fu scoperta la sua costante espansione. La cosmologia ha poi fatto un grande salto di qualit a cavallo tra il XX e il XXI secolo. L Universo inflazionario una specula che forse rivela i misteri delle leggi fisiche a piccolissime distanze e altissime energie, laddove dovrebbe trovarsi il regno delle superstringhe e della gravit... more...
