نویسنده
چکیده
An introduction to modern theories for the origin of structure in the Universe is given. After a brief review of the growth of cosmological perturbations in an expanding Universe and a summary of some important observational results, the lectures focus on the inflationary Universe scenario and on topological defect models of structure formation. A summary of the theory and current observational status of cosmic microwave background temperature fluctuations is given. The final chapter is devoted to some speculative ideas concerning the connection between cosmology and fundamental physics, in particular to ways in which the singularity problem of classical cosmology may be resolved. ⋆ Invited lectures at VIII’th Brazilian School of Cosmology, July 1995; to be published in the proceedings, ed M. Novello (Editions Frontières, Paris 1995).

Absorption line systems are luminosity unbiased tracers of the spatial distribution of baryons over most of the history of the Universe. I review the importance of studying the clustering properties of the absorbers and the impact of VLT in this subject. The primary aim of the project is to track the evolution of the structures of the Universe back in time.

These lectures introduce some of the basic notions of effective field theories, as used in particle physics. The topics discussed are the ∆S = 1 and ∆S = 2 weak interactions, and chiral perturbation theory as applied to mesons, baryons, and hadrons containing heavy quarks.
