Superstring Cosmology
by James E. Lidsey, David Wands, E. J. Copeland
Publisher: arXiv 2000
Number of pages: 161
Description:
Aspects of superstring cosmology are reviewed with an emphasis on the cosmological implications of duality symmetries in the theory. The string effective actions are summarized and toroidal compactification to four dimensions reviewed. Global symmetries that arise in the compactification are discussed and the duality relationships between the string effective actions are then highlighted.

Lectures on Inflation and Cosmological Perturbations
by David Langlois - arXiv
Inflation is today the main theoretical framework that describes the early Universe. These lectures give an introduction to inflation and the production of primordial perturbations, and a review of some of the latest developments in this domain.

Introduction to Cosmology
by A. D. Dolgov - arXiv
Introductory lectures on cosmology for students specializing in particle physics are presented. Many important subjects are not covered because of lack of time and space but hopefully the lectures may serve as a starting point for further studies.

Cosmology for Particle Physicists
by U. A. Yajnik - arXiv
We begin with a recapitulation of General Relativity, and the Standard Model of Cosmology. This is followed by lectures on inflation, density perturbations, study of hot and cold relics decoupled from the remaining constituents, and baryon asymmetry.
