Cosmology has been transformed by dramatic progress in
high-precision observations and theoretical modelling. This book
surveys key developments and open issues for graduate students and
researchers. Using a relativistic geometric approach, it focuses on
the general concepts and relations that underpin the standard model
of the Universe. Part I covers foundations of relativistic
cosmology whilst Part II develops the dynamical and observational
relations for all models of the Universe based on general
relativity. Part III focuses on the standard model of cosmology,
including inflation, dark matter, dark energy, perturbation theory,
the cosmic microwave background, structure formation and
gravitational lensing. It also examines modified gravity and
inhomogeneity as possible alternatives to dark energy. Anisotropic
and inhomogeneous models are described in Part IV, and Part V
reviews deeper issues, such as quantum cosmology, the start of the
universe and the multiverse proposal. Colour versions of some
figures are available at www.cambridge.org/9780521381154.
