402-0394-00L | Theoretical Astrophysics and Cosmology | 10 KP | 3V + 2U | U. Seljak | |
Kurzbeschreibung | This is the second of a two course series which started with "General Relativity" and continues in the spring with "Theoretical Astrophysics and Cosmology", where the focus will be on applying general relativity to cosmology. | ||||
Lernziel | |||||
Inhalt | Here is the rough plan of the topics we plan to cover. The actual pace may vary relative to this plan. Week 1: overview of homogeneous cosmology I: spacetime geometry, redshift, Hubble law, distances Week 2: overview of homogeneous cosmology I: dynamics of expansion, accelerated expansion, horizons Week 3: thermal history of the universe and recombination Week 4: cosmic microwave background anisotropies I: first look Week 5: creation of matter: baryogenesis Week 6: creation of nuclei: nucleosynthesis Week 7: cold dark matter Week 8: inflation: homogeneous limit Week 9: relativistic perturbation theory I Week 10: relativistic perturbation theory II Week 11: cosmic microwave background anisotropies II: scalar and tensor modes Week 12: cosmic microwave background anisotropies III: polarization Week 13: structure formation Week 14: gravitational lensing Week 15: inflation and initial perturbations in the universe | ||||
