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.
