| From Newton's Laws to the Wheeler-deWitt equation | | This is a pedagogical paper which explains some ideas in cosmology at a level accessible to undergraduate students. Following standard quantization procedures the Wheeler-DeWitt equation in the minisuperspace approximation is derived for empty and non-empty universes. |
| Introduction to Cosmology - Astrophysics | | These notes form an introduction to cosmology with special emphasis on large scale structure, the cmb anisotropy and inflation. In some places a basic familiarity with particle physics is assumed, but otherwise no special knowledge is needed. |
| Introductory review of cosmic inflation | | These lecture notes provide an introduction to cosmic inflation. In particular the basic concepts of inflation, generation of density perturbations, and reheating after inflation. |
| Knowing the Universe and Its Secrets | | Learn about the life and energy processes of stars and galaxies. Page has explanations of ancient and modern theories, as well as charts and astronomical photos. |
| Minkowski Functionals in Cosmology | | Minkowski functionals provide a novel tool to characterize the large-scale galaxy distribution in the Universe. Here we give a brief tutorial on the basic features of these morphological measures and indicate their practical application for simulation data and galaxy redshift catalogues as examples. |
| Numerical Simulations in Cosmology I: Methods | | This lecture gives a short introduction to different methods used in cosmology. The focus is on major features of N-body simulations: equations, main numerical techniques, effects of resolution, and methods of halo identification. |
| Particle Aspects of Cosmology and Baryogenesis | | An introduction to particle aspects of cosmology with particular reference to primordial nucleosynthesis, dark matter and baryogenesis is provided. In particular, various scenarios-GUT baryogenesis, electroweak baryogenesis and baryogenesis through leptogenesis are reviewed. |
