Inflation, Quantum Cosmology and the Anthropic Principle
Andrei Linde
Anthropic principle can help us to understand many properties of our world. However, for a long time this principle seemed too metaphysical and many scientists were ashamed to use…
Inflationary Theory versus Ekpyrotic/Cyclic Scenario
Andrei Linde
I will discuss the development of inflationary theory and its present status, as well as some recent attempts to suggest an alternative to inflation. In particular, I will argue th…
Prospects of Inflationary Cosmology
Andrei Linde
In this review I briefly describe the evolution of the inflationary theory from the scenario based on the idea of supercooling and expansion in the false vacuum toward the theory o…
Comments on "Analytic and Numerical Study of Preheating Dynamics"
Lev Kofman, Andrei Linde, Alexei Starobinsky
In a recent paper Boyanovsky et al (hep-ph/9608205) studied preheating for a particular theory of the inflaton field. Although they results essentially confirm those of the origina…
Recent Progress in Inflationary Cosmology
Andrei Linde
We discuss two important modifications of inflationary paradigm. Until very recently we believed that inflation automatically leads to flatness of the universe, Omega = 1. We also…
Quantum Cosmology and the Structure of Inflationary Universe
Andrei Linde
In this review I consider several different issues related to inflation. I will begin with the wave function of the Universe. This issue is pretty old, but recently there were some…
