We systematically review some standard issues and also the latest developments of
modified gravity in cosmology, emphasizing on inflation, bouncing cosmology and late-time …

The Swampland program aims to distinguish effective theories which can be completed into
quantum gravity in the ultraviolet from those which cannot. This article forms an introduction …

We report on the implications for cosmic inflation of the 2018 release of the Planck cosmic
microwave background (CMB) anisotropy measurements. The results are fully consistent …

We review applications of string theory to cosmology, from primordial times to the present-
day accelerated expansion. Starting with a brief overview of cosmology and string …

We present the implications for cosmic inflation of the Planck measurements of the cosmic
microwave background (CMB) anisotropies in both temperature and polarization based on …

This paper presents cosmological results based on full-mission Planck observations of
temperature and polarization anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) …

We review in detail a number of approaches that have been adopted to try and explain the
remarkable observation of our accelerating universe. In particular we discuss the arguments …

We review recent trends in inflationary dynamics in the context of viable modified gravity
theories. After providing a general overview of the inflationary paradigm emphasizing on …

String theory is one of the most exciting and challenging areas of modern theoretical
physics. This book guides the reader from the basics of string theory to recent developments …

The past two decades have seen transformative advances in cosmology and string theory.
Observations of the cosmic microwave background have revealed strong evidence for …
