String Cosmology versus Standard and Inflationary Cosmology
This paper presents a review of the basic, model-independent differences between the pre-big bang scenario, arising naturally in a string cosmology context, and the standard inflationary scenario. We use an unconventional approach in which the introduction of technical details is avoided as much as possible, trying to focus the reader’s attention on the main conceptual aspects of both scenarios...
متن کاملCosmology: Standard and Inflationary
In these lectures, I review the standard hot Big Bang cosmology, emphasizing its successes, its shortcomings, and its major challenges|developing a detailed understanding of the formation of structure in the universe and identifying the constituents of the ubiquitous dark matter. I then discuss the motivations for|and the fundamentals of|in ationary cosmology, particularly emphasizing the quant...
متن کاملA String Scenario for Inflationary Cosmology
We describe a scenario for inflation in the framework of non-critical string theory, which does not employ an inflaton field. There is an exponential expansion of the volume of the Universe, induced by enormous entropy production in the early stages of cosmological evolution. This is associated with the loss of information carried by global string modes that cross the particle horizon. It is th...
متن کاملPre-Inflationary Spacetime in String Cosmology
Seiberg and Witten have shown that the non-perturbative stability of string physics on conformally compactified spacetimes is related to the behaviour of the areas and volumes of certain branes as the brane is moved towards infinity. If, as is particularly natural in quantum cosmology, the spatial sections of an accelerating cosmological model are flat and compact, then the spacetime is on the ...
متن کاملRecent Progress in String Inflationary Cosmology
Super–inflation driven by dilaton/moduli kinetic energy is naturally realized in compactified string theory. Discussed are selected topics of recent development in string inflationary cosmology: kinematics of super-inflation, graceful exit triggered by quantum back reaction, and classical and quantum power spectra of density and metric perturbations. † Invited Talk given at 7th Asian-Pacific Re...
