Inflation for Large Scale Structure
A. A. Starobinsky
Two extensions of ideas lying in the basis of the inflationary scenario of the early Universe and their effect on the large scale structure of the present-day Universe are discusse…
Constraining topology with the CMB
Angelica de Oliveira-Costa, George F. Smoot, Alexei A. Starobinsky
We present a new data analysis method to study rectangular T^3 ``small universes" with one or two of its dimensions significantly smaller than the present horizon (which we refer t…
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…
Spectrum of Initial Perturbations in Open and Closed Inflationary Models
A. A. Starobinsky
Spectrum of initial scalar and tensor perturbations created during an inflationary stage producing a closed or open FRW universe now is discussed. In the closed case, the CMB tempe…
Modern Cosmological Models with Dark Matter and Their Confrontation with Observational Data
A. A. Starobinsky
New systematic classification of cosmological models of the present Universe is introduced. After making the comparison of these models with all existing observational data three v…
New Restrictions on Spatial Topology of the Universe from Microwave Background Temperature Fluctuations
A. A. Starobinsky
If the Universe has the topology of a 3-torus (), then it follows from recent data on large-scale temperature fluctuations of the cosmic microwave background that eithe…
