This book has its roots in a series of collaborations in the last
decade at the interface between statistical physics and cosmology.
The speci?c problem which initiated this research was the study of
the clustering properties of galaxies as revealed by large redshift
surveys, a context in which concepts of modern statistical physics
(e. g. scale-invariance, fractality. . ) ?nd ready application. In
recent years we have considerably broadened the range of problems
in cosmology which we have addressed, treating in particular more
theoretical issues about the statistical properties of standard
cosmological models. What is common to all this research, however,
is that it is informed by a perspective and methodology which is
that of statistical physics. We can say that, beyond its speci?c
scienti?c content, this book has an underlying thesis: such
interdisciplinary research is an exciting playground for
statistical physics, and one which can bring new and useful
insights into cosmology. The book does not represent a ?nal point,
but in our view, a marker in the development of this kind of
research, which we believe can go very much further in the future.
Indeed as we complete this book, new developments - which
unfortunately we have not been able to include here - have been
made on some of the themes described here. Our focus in this book
is on the problem of structure in cosmology.
