Publisher:
ISBN: 9781107209367
Category : Cosmology
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
As the structures in our Universe are mapped out on ever larger scales, and with increasing detail, the use of inhomogeneous models is becoming an essential tool for analyzing and understanding them. This book reviews a number of important developments in the application of inhomogeneous solutions of Einstein's field equations to cosmology. It shows how inhomogeneous models can be employed to study the evolution of structures such as galaxy clusters and galaxies with central black holes, and to account for cosmological observations like supernovae dimming, the cosmic microwave background, baryon acoustic oscillations or the dependence of the Hubble parameter on redshift within classical general relativity. Whatever `dark matter' and `dark energy' turn out to be, inhomogeneities exist on many scales and need to be investigated with all appropriate methods. This book is of great value to all astrophysicists and researchers working in cosmology, from graduate students to academic researchers.

The Structure of the Universe
Author: Evry L. Schatzman

ISBN:
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 262
Book Description
Despite a remarkable increase in our knowledge, how much is really known about the history of the galaxies and the structure of the universe in general? Is 'space' limited, or is it infinite? How old is the universe, and how long may it be expected to endure? These and other questions are discussed by the author in the light of the latest findings of astronomy and astrophysics.

Inflation and String Theory
Author: Daniel Baumann
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1316240967
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 395
Book Description
The past two decades have seen transformative advances in cosmology and string theory. Observations of the cosmic microwave background have revealed strong evidence for inflationary expansion in the very early universe, while new insights about compactifications of string theory have led to a deeper understanding of inflation in a framework that unifies quantum mechanics and general relativity. Written by two of the leading researchers in the field, this complete and accessible volume provides a modern treatment of inflationary cosmology and its connections to string theory and elementary particle theory. After an up-to-date experimental summary, the authors present the foundations of effective field theory, string theory, and string compactifications, setting the stage for a detailed examination of models of inflation in string theory. Three appendices contain background material in geometry and cosmological perturbation theory, making this a self-contained resource for graduate students and researchers in string theory, cosmology, and related fields.
