Cosmology
by V. A. Rubakov
Publisher: arXiv.org 2018
Number of pages: 56
Description:
Cosmology and particle physics are deeply interrelated. Among the common problems are dark energy, dark matter and baryon asymmetry of the Universe. We discuss these problems in general terms, and concentrate on several particular hypotheses.

Ekpyrotic and Cyclic Cosmologyby Jean-Luc Lehners - arXiv
Ekpyrotic and cyclic cosmologies provide theories of the very early and of the very late universe. In these models, the big bang is described as a collision of branes - and thus the big bang is not the beginning of time.

Applied Cosmography: A Pedagogical Reviewby Yu. L. Bolotin, et al. - arXiv.org
Cosmography is in fact a kinematics of cosmological expansion. The effectiveness of cosmography lies in the fact that it allows, based on the observations, to perform a rigid selection of models that do not contradict the cosmological principle.

Everything You Always Wanted To Know About The Cosmological Constant Problemby Jerome Martin - arXiv
This text discusses the cosmological constant problem at a pedagogical but fully technical level. We review how the vacuum energy can be regularized in flat and curved space-time and how it can be understood in terms of Feynman bubble diagrams.

Primordial Magnetogenesisby Alejandra Kandus, Kerstin E. Kunze, Christos G. Tsagas - arXiv
We review the question of primordial magnetic fields and consider the limits set on their strength by the observational data. The various mechanisms of pre-recombination magnetogenesis are presented and their advantages and shortcomings are debated.
