This book is devoted to the cosmological implications of the gauge
theories of particle physics and of string theory. It presumes some
prior knowledge of these subjects, such as that provided in the
authors' previous books Introduction to Gauge Field Theory and
Supersymmetric Gauge Field Theory and String Theory, but it is
self-contained. Like the earlier books it is intended as an
introductory textbook for a first course on the subject at graduate
student level. Recent observations confirm that the universe is
very flat and extremely homogeneous. The most plausible explanation
of this is that the universe passed through an inflationary era.
studied and the possibility of satisfying these in a supersymmetric
theory or in supergravity theory is discussed. Finally, black hole
solutions of the supergravity theory that approximates string
theory at low energies are considered, and the insight that string
theory affords into the microscopic origin of the
Bekenstein-Hawking entropy is discussed. Cosmology in Gauge Field
Theory and String Theory will provide a modern introduction to
these important problems from a particle physicist's perspective.
