This book provides an extensive survey of all the physics necessary to understand the current developments in the field of fundamental cosmology, as well as an overview ofthe observational data and methods. It will help students to get into research by providingdefinitions and main techniques and ideas discussed today. The book is divided into threeparts. Part 1 summarises the fundamentals in theoretical physics needed in cosmology(general relativity, field theory, particle physics). Part 2 describes the standard model ofcosmology and includes cosmological solutions of Einstein equations, the hot big bangmodel, cosmological perturbation theory, cosmic microwave background anisotropies,lensing and evidence for dark matter, and inflation. Part 3 describes extensions of thismodel and opens up current research in the field: scalar-tensor theories, supersymmetry,the cosmological constant problem and acceleration of the universe, topology of the universe, grand unification and baryogenesis, topological defects and phase transitions,string inspired cosmology including branes and the latest developments. The book provides details of all derivations and leads the student up to the level of research articles.
Patrick Peter and Jean-Philippe Uzan are at the Institut d'Astrophysique de Paris, France.
‘Fills a niche that other recent cosmology texts leave open, namely self-contained derivations in cosmology that span both fundamental issues and applications to the realuniverse that are of great interest to observers.’ Joseph Silk, University of Oxford
‘A remarkable book. Written with great authority and enthusiasm, it gives a comprehensiveview of primordial cosmology today. The style is accessible to a novice for a good introduction, as well as being technically precise enough to be useful for specialists.’

Fig. 1. Space-time diagram (sketch) showing the evolution of scales in inflationarycosmology. The vertical axis is time, and the period of inflation lasts between ti andtR, and is followed by the radiation-dominated phase of standard big bang cosmol-ogy. During exponential inflation, the Hubble radius H
!1 is constant in physicalspatial coordinates (the horizontal axis), whereas it increases linearly in time aftertR. The physical length corresponding to a fixed comoving length scale labelled byits wavenumber k increases exponentially during inflation but increases less fast thanthe Hubble radius (namely as t
1/2), after inflation.

FIG. 1: Schematic representation of the old ekpyrotic modelas a bulk – boundary branes in an e!ective five dimensionaltheory. Our Universe is to be identified with the visible brane,and a bulk brane is spontaneously nucleated near the hiddenbrane, moving towards our universe to produce the Big-Bangsingularity and primordial perturbations. In the new ekpy-rotic scenario, the bulk brane is absent and it is the hiddenbrane that collides with the visible one, generating the hotBig Bang singularity.
In the “old” scenario [8], the five dimensional bulk isalso assumed to contain various fields not described here,whose excitations can lead to the spontaneous nucleationof yet another, much lighter, freely moving, brane. Inthe so-called “new” scenario [9], and its cyclic exten-sion [23], it is the hidden boundary brane that is ableto move in the bulk. In both cases, this extra brane, ifassumed BPS (as demanded by minimization of the ac-tion) is flat, parallel to the boundary branes and initially
at rest. Non perturbative e!ects yield an interaction po-tential between the visible and the bulk brane. The dis-tance of the former to the latter can be regarded as ascalar field living on the four dimensional visible bound-ary brane whose e!ective action is thus that of four di-mensional GR together with a scalar field " evolving inan exponential potential, namely

FIG. 1: Schematic representation of the old ekpyrotic modelas a bulk – boundary branes in an e!ective five dimensionaltheory. Our Universe is to be identified with the visible brane,and a bulk brane is spontaneously nucleated near the hiddenbrane, moving towards our universe to produce the Big-Bangsingularity and primordial perturbations. In the new ekpy-rotic scenario, the bulk brane is absent and it is the hiddenbrane that collides with the visible one, generating the hotBig Bang singularity.
In the “old” scenario [8], the five dimensional bulk isalso assumed to contain various fields not described here,whose excitations can lead to the spontaneous nucleationof yet another, much lighter, freely moving, brane. Inthe so-called “new” scenario [9], and its cyclic exten-sion [23], it is the hidden boundary brane that is ableto move in the bulk. In both cases, this extra brane, ifassumed BPS (as demanded by minimization of the ac-tion) is flat, parallel to the boundary branes and initially
at rest. Non perturbative e!ects yield an interaction po-tential between the visible and the bulk brane. The dis-tance of the former to the latter can be regarded as ascalar field living on the four dimensional visible bound-ary brane whose e!ective action is thus that of four di-mensional GR together with a scalar field " evolving inan exponential potential, namely

The interaction between the two branes results in one(bulk or hidden) brane moving towards the other (vis-ible) boundary until they collide. This impact time isthen identified with the Big-Bang of standard cosmol-ogy. Slightly before that time, the exponential potentialabruptly goes to zero so the boundary brane is led to asingular transition at which the kinetic energy of the bulkbrane is converted into radiation.

These equations have the same form as the equations forscalar perturbations obtained in Ref. [1]. This is quitenatural since for a single fluid with constant equation ofstate &, the pump function z""/z obtained in Ref. [1] isexactly equal to a""/a obtained here. The di"erence isthat the function a(#) is no longer a classical solutionof the background equations but a quantum Bohmiantrajectory of the quantized background, which may leadto di"erent power spectra.

FIG. 2: Rescaled power spectra for scalar and tensor pertur-bations as functions of time for ! = 0.01 and two di!erentvalues of k. It is clear from the figure that not only bothspectra reach a constant mode, but also that this mode doesbehave as indicated in Eqs. (46) and (50). It is purely inci-dental that the actual constant value of both modes are veryclose for that particular value of !. The constant values ob-tained in this figure are the one used to derive the spectrumbelow. In this figure and the following, the value of nS usedto rescale " is the one derived in Eq.
