• - Discusses philosophical views about cosmology in the 1930s and 1940s; from the Stanford Encyclopedia, by George Gale.
  
• - The following pages present a discussion of the role the cosmological constant plays in modern cosmology. They are designed to offer an overview of how the cosmological constant alters standard cosmology, and to discuss whether a non-zero cosmological con

• - Includes a staff list and a brief description of work done in that centre.
  
• - Contains a cosmology tutorial. Preliminary introduction to General Relativity and its application to Cosmology. Also study of stringy matter as a part of the Universe.
  
• - An introduction to particle aspects of cosmology with particular reference to primordial nucleosynthesis, dark matter and baryogenesis is provided. In particular, various scenarios-GUT baryogenesis, electroweak baryogenesis and baryogenesis through leptog
  
• - A lecture on aspects of superstring theory and cosmology.
  
• - A set of notes tracing the historical development of cosmology in a qualitative way.
  
• - A theory that unites quantum mechanics and general relativity claims that there was no first moment in time, but it still agrees with the predictions of classical cosmology.

• - Articles about the Universe, Cosmology, Quantum Mechanics, Relativity & collection of some FAQ's.
  
• - This is a pedagogical paper which explains some ideas in cosmology at a level accessible to undergraduate students. Following standard quantization procedures the Wheeler-DeWitt equation in the minisuperspace approximation is derived for empt
  
• - In this paper, the fundamentals of modern cosmology for an isotropic and homogeneous space-time will be reviewed. Other issues suggesting a more general theory are presented and inflation is introduced as a resolution to this conundrum.
