This relatively new field applies equations from string theory to
solve the questions of early cosmology, since the standard picture
of our universe emerging from a 'big bang' leaves many fundamental
issues unanswered. String theory, on the other hand, postulates
that fundamental ingredients of nature are not zero-dimensional
point particles but tiny one-dimensional filaments. This theory
harmoniously unites quantum mechanics and general relativity -- the
previously known laws of the small and the large -- which are
otherwise incompatible.
The field of string cosmology has matured considerably over the
past few years, attracting many new adherents. Due to the
multidisciplinary nature of the topic, it is difficult for
practitioners to be conversant with all the many different aspects.
This book thus fills a huge gap by bringing together all the
different strains of research into one single volume. The resulting
collection of selected articles presents the latest, ongoing
results from renowned experts currently working in the field.
From the contents:
* Introduction to Cosmology and String Theory
* String Inflation: Brane Inflation and Inflation from Moduli
* Cosmic Superstrings
* The CMB as a Possible Probe of String Theory
* String Gas Cosmology
* Gauge-gravity Duality and String Cosmology
* Heterotic M-theory and C
A welcome addition to the literature for graduate students,
students in astronomy, astronomers, mathematicians and theoretical
physicists.
