Cosmology
by V. A. Rubakov
Publisher: arXiv.org 2018
Number of pages: 56
Description:
Cosmology and particle physics are deeply interrelated. Among the common problems are dark energy, dark matter and baryon asymmetry of the Universe. We discuss these problems in general terms, and concentrate on several particular hypotheses.

Introduction to Early Universe Cosmologyby Robert H. Brandenberger - arXiv
This text covers the theory of cosmological perturbations, which describes the generation of inhomogeneities in the early universe and their evolution until the current time. The theory is applied to three classes of models of the early universe.
