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.

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.
