This book investigates the potentially important role of quantum physics, particularly quantum anomalies, in various aspects of modern cosmology, such as inflation, the dynamical generation of the visible and dark matter in the universe, and gravitational waves. By doing so, the authors demonstrate that exploring the links between cosmology and particle physics is key to helping solve the mysteries of our Universe."--$$cProvided by publisher. 000844284 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (viewed July 25, 2018). 000844284 650_0 $$aQuantum cosmology. 000844284 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z3319947141$$z9783319947143$$w(OCoLC)1037808803 000844284 830_0 $$aSpringer theses. 000844284 852__ $$bebk 000844284 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-94715-0$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000844284 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:844284$$pGLOBAL_SET 000844284 980__ $$aEBOOK 000844284 980__ $$aBIB 000844284 982__ $$aEbook 000844284 983__ $$aOnline 000844284 994__ $$a92$$bISE
