Résumé

This book, based on lectures given to post-graduate students, bring together contributions from a number of outstanding scientists currently working in various research fields in cosmology. Topics covered range over several different aspects of modern cosmology, from observational matters to advanced theoretical speculations.

L'auteur - Vittorio Gorini

Professor Vittorio Gorini
Research interests: Quantum Statistical Mechanics of Irreversible Processes. Unstable States in Quantum Mechanics. Group Theoretical Methods in Quantum Physics. Special and General Relativity. Quantum Theory in Curved Spacetimes. Professor Gorini has worked in a variety of subjects in theoretical and mathematical physics. His major contributions are the classification of the generators of quantum dynamical semigroups for N-level systems (with A.Kossakowski and E.C.G.Sudarshan), and the dynamical characterization of equilibrium states (KMS states) whithin the algebraic approach to quantum statistical mechanics (with A.Frigerio and M.Verri). His interests in general relativity are more recent and are concerned with black hole solutions and cosmic censorship hypotheses in Tolman-Bondi spacetimes, and with the reduced dynamics of quantum fields on curved submanifolds.

L'auteur - Ugo Moschella

Professor Ugo Moschella
1992-1993 and 1994-1996: Research Fellow at CEA--SACLAY, France
1993-1994: Maitre de Conferences, Universite' de Paris 7, France
1996: Research Fellow at IHES--Bures-sur-Yvette, France
Research activity has mainly focused on Quantum Field Theory. He has made contributions to Gauge Theories, and, in the last few years, on Quantum Field Theory on curved spacetimes. In particular he has proposed (with J. Bros, H. Epstein and al.) an entirely new approach to de Sitter and Anti-de Sitter QFT based on the analiticity properties of the correlation functions.
