Download or read book Current Topics In Mathematical Cosmology - Proceedings Of The International Seminar written by M Rainer and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1998-12-31 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, current topics from classical large scale models to quantum gravity effects in the mathematical formulation of physically motivated cosmological theories are discussed. There are contributions dealing with topics such as the singularity theorem, the cosmic no-hair theorem and other results related to the big bang and the inflationary cosmological models. Also discussed are non-standard themes like field equations of order higher than 2, space-times of dimension different from 4, relating also to current generalizations of string theory, and some issues in quantum cosmology.
