Singularities in any physical theory are either remarkable indicators of the unknown
underlying fundamental theory, or indicate a change in the description of the physical reality …

We review the paradigm of holographic dark energy (HDE), which arises from a theoretical
attempt of applying the holographic principle (HP) to the dark energy (DE) problem. Making …

This book presents a comprehensive review of the subject of gravitational effects in quantum
field theory. Although the treatment is general, special emphasis is given to the Hawking …

The physical interpretation of perturbations of homogeneous, isotropic cosmological models
in the early Universe, when the perturbation is larger than the particle horizon, is clarified by …

In part one of Effective Action in Quantum Gravity, the book describes the principles of
quantum field theory and the significance of and theory behind effective action. Part two …

We review the general features of nonsingular universes (ie those that go from an era of
accelerated collapse to an expanding era without displaying a singularity) as well as cyclic …

Bringing together the key ideas from nonequilibrium statistical mechanics and powerful
methodology from quantum field theory, this 2008 book captures the essence of …

The authors analyse the behaviour of homogeneous and isotropic solutions to a gravity
theory that arises from the variation of an arbitrary analytic function of the space-time scalar …

Starobinsky has suggested an inflationary cosmological scenario in which the inflation is
driven by quantum corrections to the vacuum Einstein's equations. Here a detailed review of …
