String theory is the only known consistent theory of quantum gravity that can deal with the highest energy scales near the Planck energy, relevant for cosmology's beginning. As a result, only string theory can give a fully consistent picture of cosmological origins. This book describes the best current avenues for obtaining cosmology from string theory. It is aimed at graduate students, and also researchers, with some familiarity with cosmology and string theory, however no detailed knowledge is required. .Fundamental Theories of Physics,0168-1222 ;197Quantum field theoryString modelsCosmologyGravitationQuantum Field Theories, String Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19048Cosmologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22049Classical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19070Quantum field theory.String models.Cosmology.Gravitation.Quantum Field Theories, String Theory.Cosmology.Classical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theory.523.1539.7258Năstase Horaţiuauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut836842BOOK9910337876303321Cosmology and String Theory1869961UNINA
