The Universe in a Helium Droplet
by Grigory E. Volovik
Publisher: Oxford University Press 2003
ISBN/ASIN: 0199564841
ISBN-13: 9780199564842
Number of pages: 532
Description:
There are fundamental relations between three vast areas of physics: particle physics, cosmology and condensed matter physics. The fundamental links between the first two areas, in other words, between micro-and macro-worlds, have been well established. The main goal of this book is to establish and define the connection of these two fields with condensed matter physics.

Introductory Lectures on Quantum Cosmology
by J. J. Halliwell - arXiv
The modern approach to quantum cosmology, as initiated by Hartle and Hawking, Linde, Vilenkin and others. We explain how one determines the consequences for the late universe of a given quantum theory of cosmological initial or boundary conditions.

Cosmic Microwave Background Anisotropies up to Second Order
by Nicola Bartolo, Sabino Matarrese, Antonio Riotto - arXiv
These notes present the computation of the system of Boltzmann equations describing the evolution of the photon, baryon and cold dark matter fluids up to second order in perturbation theory. They follow the time evolution of the CMB anisotropies.
