INTRODUCTION TO THE THEORY OF THE EARLY
UNIVERSE
Cosmological Perturbations and Inflationary Theory
by Dmitry S Gorbunov (Russian Academy of Sciences, Russia)
& Valery A Rubakov (Russian Academy of Sciences, Russia
& Moscow State University, Russia)
480pp (approx.)
978-981-4322-22-5: US$134 / £83 US$100.50
/ £62.25
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 may serve as a
detailed introduction to current research.
Contents:
- Jeans Instability in Newtonian Gravity
- Cosmological Perturbations in General
Relativity. Equations of Linearized Theory
- Evolution of Vector and Tensor Perturbations
- Scalar Perturbations: Single-Component Fluids
- Primordial Perturbations in Real Universe
- Scalar Perturbations Before Recombination
- Structure Formation
- Beyond Ideal Fluid Approximation
- Temperature of Cosmic Microwave Background
Radiation
- CMB Polarization
- Drawbacks of the Hot Big Bang Theory. Inflation
as Possible Way Out
- Inflation in Slow Roll Regime
- Generation of Cosmological Perturbations at
Inflation
- Further Aspects of Inflationary Theory
- Preheating After Inflation
- Bouncing Universe

INTRODUCTION TO THE THEORY OF THE EARLY
UNIVERSE
Hot Big Bang Theory
by Dmitry S Gorbunov (Russian Academy of Sciences, Russia)
& Valery A Rubakov (Russian Academy of Sciences, Russia
& Moscow State University, Russia)
500pp (approx.)
978-981-4322-24-9: US$134 / £83 US$100.50
/ £62.25
This book is written from the viewpoint of a deep connection
between cosmology and particle physics. It presents the results and
ideas on both the homogeneous and isotropic Universe at the hot stage
of its evolution and in later stages. The main chapters describe in a
systematic and pedagogical way established facts and concepts on the
early and the present Universe. The comprehensive treatment, hence,
serves as a modern introduction to this rapidly developing field of
science. To help in reading the chapters without having to constantly
consult other texts, essential materials from General Relativity and
the theory of elementary particles are collected in the appendices.
Various hypotheses dealing with unsolved problems of cosmology, and
often alternative to each other, are discussed at a more advanced
level. These concern dark matter, dark energy, matter-antimatter
asymmetry, etc.
Contents:
- Cosmology: A Preview
- Homogeneous Isotropic Universe
- Dynamics of Cosmological Expansion
- ^CDM: Cosmological Model with Dark Matter and
Dark Energy
- Thermodynamics in Expanding Universe
- Recombination
- Relic Neutrinos
- Big Bang Nucleosynthesis
- Dark Matter
- Phase Transitions in the Early Universe
- Generation of Baryon Asymmetry
- Topological Defects and Solitons in the
Universe
