Discover the Best Book on Inflation Theory for Your Studies

AI Thread Summary
For studying inflation theory, "The Early Universe" by Kolb & Turner is recommended as a standard reference. Additionally, William H. Kinney's paper "Cosmology, inflation, and the physics of nothing" and Charles H. Lineweaver's "Inflation and the Cosmic Microwave Background" are suggested as pedagogical resources. These materials cater to both mathematical understanding and conceptual insights into inflation theory. They provide a solid foundation for anyone looking to delve into the subject. Selecting these texts will enhance comprehension of the complexities of inflation in cosmology.

I need a good book on Inflation theory to start studying . Does anyone know a good book written on inflation theory? I really need a book advice...

Be specific. 'A good book' can mean either a textbook or one written on a popular level.

Thread 'Matter density right after the decoupling'

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recombination_(cosmology) Was a matter density right after the decoupling low enough to consider the vacuum as the actual vacuum, and not the medium through which the light propagates with the speed lower than ##({\epsilon_0\mu_0})^{-1/2}##? I'm asking this in context of the calculation of the observable universe radius, where the time integral of the inverse of the scale factor is multiplied by the constant speed of light ##c##.

Thread 'Hubble Constant, Dark Energy and the Expanding Universe'

Why was the Hubble constant assumed to be decreasing and slowing down (decelerating) the expansion rate of the Universe, while at the same time Dark Energy is presumably accelerating the expansion? And to thicken the plot. recent news from NASA indicates that the Hubble constant is now increasing. Can you clarify this enigma? Also., if the Hubble constant eventually decreases, why is there a lower limit to its value?
