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.
