In this report of the workshop on ‘Physics of the Very Early Universe’ held at GR14, the recent status and open problems in a selected number of major areas of interest are reviewed, focusing on attempts to develop a superstring cosmology and on progress in understanding current theories of structure formation.

Existence and properties of the electroweak phase transition in the early universe depend strongly on the mass of the Higgs scalar M H. There is presumably no true symmetry restoration at high temperature. Nevertheless , a first order phase transition occurs in the standard model for M H ∼ < 70 GeV. For a realistic scalar mass M H ∼ > 70 GeV the transition to the high temperature regime is desc...

The next generation of gravitational wave detectors holds out the prospect of detecting a stochastic gravitational wave background generated in the very early universe. In this article, we review the various cosmological processes which can lead to such a background, including quantum fluctuations during inflation, bubble collisions in a first-order phase transition and the decay of a network o...

Cosmic inflation is the only known mechanism with the potential to explain the very special initial conditions which are required at the early stages of the evolution of our universe. This article outlines my work with Joao Magueijo which attempts to construct an alternative mechanism based on a time-varying speed of light.

We use observations from the CASTLES survey of gravita-tional lenses to study extinction in 23 lens galaxies with 0 < z l < 1. The median differential extinction between lensed images is ∆E(B −V) = 0.05 mag, and the directly measured extinctions agree with the amount needed to explain the differences between the statistics of radio and (optical) quasar lens surveys. We also measure the first ex...
