From the Publisher

Cosmology in Gauge Field Theory and String Theory focuses on the cosmological
implications of the gauge theories of particle physics and of string theory. The
book first examines the universe's series of phase transitions in which the
successive gauge symmetries of the higher-temperature phase were spontaneously
broken after the big bang, discussing relics of these phase transitions, more
generic relics (baryons, neutrinos, axions), and supersymmetric particles
(neutralinos and gravitinos). The author next studies supersymmetric theory,
supergravity theory, and the constraints on the underlying field theory of the
universe's inflationary era. The book concludes with a discussion of black hole
solutions of the supergravity theory that approximates string theory at low
energies and the insight that string theory affords into the microscopic origin
of the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy. Cosmology in Gauge Field Theory and String
Theory provides a modern introduction to these important problems from a
particle physicist's perspective. It is intended as an introductory textbook for
a first course on the subject at a graduate level.
