Applied Cosmography: A Pedagogical Review
by Yu. L. Bolotin, et al.
Publisher: arXiv.org 2018
Number of pages: 66
Description:
Based on the cosmological principle only, the method of describing the evolution of the Universe, called cosmography, is in fact a kinematics of cosmological expansion. The effectiveness of cosmography lies in the fact that it allows, based on the results of observations, to perform a rigid selection of models that do not contradict the cosmological principle.

Cosmic Microwave Background Anisotropies up to Second Orderby Nicola Bartolo, Sabino Matarrese, Antonio Riotto - arXiv
These notes present the computation of the system of Boltzmann equations describing the evolution of the photon, baryon and cold dark matter fluids up to second order in perturbation theory. They follow the time evolution of the CMB anisotropies.

Ekpyrotic and Cyclic Cosmologyby Jean-Luc Lehners - arXiv
Ekpyrotic and cyclic cosmologies provide theories of the very early and of the very late universe. In these models, the big bang is described as a collision of branes - and thus the big bang is not the beginning of time.

The Shape of the Universeby Gerd Pommerenke - viXra
A special solution of the Maxwell equations is presented, which disposes of the properties the Higgs-field must have, if it should not violate already secured perceptions and observations. If both fields are identical remains to be seen at this time.
