The field of cosmology addresses some of the most profound questions that mankind has asked since ancient times: questions of the nature, history and eventual fate of universe, and of the laws of nature themselves. This book offers some of the most up-to-date research in the field from renowned experts worldwide. The first part is engaged in posing and exploring large-scale open questions; the chapters explore issues such as Palatini theories of gravity, non-singular cosmologies, and concepts of inter-universal entanglement. The second part reviews topics of particular interest to the field today. Contributors discuss ideas such as warm inflationary universe models, loop quantum cosmology, and the characteristics of geodesic surface congruences. Finally, in part three, new and innovative advances are brought to the fore. Subjects discussed include supersymmetric dark matter, strong lensing systems as probes of dark energy, and the Dirac field at the future conformal singularity. The book is an excellent resource for students and researchers in cosmology seeking to extend their understanding of the state of the field and find new ideas to inspire their own work.
