A fundamental, profound review of the key issues relating to the
early universe and the physical processes that occurred in it. The
interplay between cosmic microwave background radiation, large
scale structure, and the dark matter problem are stressed, with a
central focus on the crucial issue of the phase transitions in the
early universe and their observable consequences: baryon symmetry,
baryogenesis and cosmological fluctuations. There is an interplay
between cosmology, statistical physics and particle physics in
studying these problems, both at the theoretical and the
experimental / observational levels. Special contributions are
devoted to primordial and astrophysical black holes and to high
energy cosmic rays and neutrino astrophysics. There is also a
special section devoted to the International Space Station and its
scientific utilization.
The present volume "Field Theory, Quantum Gravity and " "Strings,
II" comprises for the lectures delivered in 1985/86 at a joint
seminar of the DAPHE observatory at Meudon and the LPTHE University
Paris VI. This set of lectures contains selected topics of current
interest in field and particle theory, cosmology and statistical
mechanics. Basic problems of string and superstring theory are
treated in a contemporary perspective, and quantum field
theoretical as well as string approaches to cosmology are
presented. Recent progress on integrable theories and related
subjects in two, four and more dimensions is reviewed. This seminar
on current developments in mathematical physics addresses
researchers as well as graduate students.
