Introduction to the Theory of the Early Universe: Cosmological Perturbations and Inflationary Theory

This work delves into the complex realm of the early universe, focusing specifically on cosmological perturbations and the principles of inflationary theory. The authors, Valery A Rubakov and Dmitry S Gorbunov, bring their expertise to the forefront, providing readers with a detailed exploration of the fundamental concepts underpinning the formation and evolution of cosmic structures.

Through a careful explanation of theoretical frameworks and mathematical formulations, the text aims to illuminate the various processes that governed the very beginnings of the universe. Readers will find themselves engaged by the authors' systematic approach, which balances rigorous scientific content with accessibility.

In addition to clarifying key theories, this book also serves as a companion piece, seamlessly connecting with the authors' previous work on the early hot universe. Together, these texts create a comprehensive narrative that guides enthusiasts and scholars alike through the intricate tapestry of cosmological phenomena.
