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.

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.
