Introduction to Early Universe Cosmologyby Robert H. Brandenberger - arXiv
This text covers the theory of cosmological perturbations, which describes the generation of inhomogeneities in the early universe and their evolution until the current time. The theory is applied to three classes of models of the early universe.

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.

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.
