Particle physics models of inflation and the cosmological density perturbation

DH Lyth, A Riotto - Physics Reports, 1999 - Elsevier
This is a review of particle-theory models of inflation, and of their predictions for the
primordial density perturbation that is thought to be the origin of structure in the Universe. It …

Baryogenesis from the weak scale to the grand unification scale
