Synopsis

In this volume, current topics from classical large scale models to quantum gravity effects in the mathematical formulation of physically motivated cosmological theories are discussed. There are contributions dealing with topics such as the singularity theorem, the cosmic no-hair theorem and other results related to the big bang and the inflationary cosmological models. Also discussed are non-standard themes like field equations of order higher than 2, space-times of dimension different from 4, relating also to current generalizations of string theory, and some issues in quantum cosmology.

About this title

Synopsis

This volume discusses topics from classical large scale models to quantum gravity effects in the mathematical formulation of physically motivated cosmological theories. There are contributions dealing with topics such as the singularity theorem, the cosmic no-hair theorem and other results realted to the big bang and the inflationary cosmological models. Also discussed are non-standard themes such as field equations of order higher than 2, and space-times of dimension different from 4 are addressed.
