Physics of the Very Early Universe 1
نویسنده
چکیده
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.

Structure formation and generalized second law of thermodynamics in some viable f(R)-gravity models
We investigate the growth of matter density perturbations as well as the generalized second law (GSL) of thermodynamics in the framework of f(R)-gravity. We consider a spatially flat FRW universe filled with the pressureless matter and radiation which is enclosed by the dynamical apparent horizon with the Hawking temperature. For some viable f(R) models containing the Starobinsky, Hu-Sawicki, Exp...
متن کاملEvolution of Information and Complexity in an Ever-Expanding Universe
Using the usual definitions of information and entropy in quantum gravity and statistical mechanics and the existing views about the relation between information and complexity, we examine the evolution of complexity in an ever expanding universe.
متن کاملDynamics of the Inflationary Era
We live in a very large, very old, and nearly (perhaps exactly) spatially flat universe. The universe we observe is, at least on large scales, remarkably homogeneous and isotropic. These attributes of our universe can be ascribed to a period of very rapid expansion, or inflation, at some time during the very early history of the universe [1]. A sufficiently long epoch of primordial inflation le...
متن کاملPrimordial Gravitational Waves: a Probe of the Very Early Universe
We discuss the potential cosmological role of gravitational wave astronomy as a probe of the very early universe. The next generation of detectors—now in production—may be able to observe a stochastic background of gravitational waves produced by violent processes during the earliest moments after the creation of the universe. Viable theoretical scenarios within detector sensititivity include s...
متن کاملParticle Physics and Cosmology
In these lectures on the early Universe I will discuss some recent developments in particle cosmology, taking particular care to highlight the r^ ole of particle physics in our understanding of cosmology. I will assume that the reader is familiar with basic particle physics, but not necessarily basic astronomy. Before starting, I would like to discuss the motivation for particle physicists to b...
