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. . 410 0$aFundamental Theories of Physics,$x0168-1222 ;$v197 606 $aQuantum field theory 606 $aString models 606 $aCosmology 606 $aGravitation 606 $aQuantum Field Theories, String Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19048 606 $aCosmology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22049 606 $aClassical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19070 615 0$aQuantum field theory. 615 0$aString models. 615 0$aCosmology. 615 0$aGravitation. 615 14$aQuantum Field Theories, String Theory. 615 24$aCosmology. 615 24$aClassical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theory. 676 $a523.1 676 $a539.7258 700 $aN?stase$b Hora?iu$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0836842 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337876303321 996 $aCosmology and String Theory$91869961 997 $aUNINA
