SPRINGERBRIEFS IN PHYSICS ELEMENTS OF COSMOLO...

Based on the author's own work and results obtained by renowned cosmologists  this short book
provides a concise introduction to the relatively new research field of cosmological
thermodynamics. Starting with a brief overview of basic cosmology and thermodynamics  the text
gives an interesting account of the application of horizon thermodynamics to the homogeneous
and isotropic Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) model  the inhomogeneous
(Lemaitre-Tolman-Bondi) LTB model  and the gravitationally induced adiabatic particle creation
scenario which is considered to be a viable alternative to the concordance Lambda-CDM model of
the Universe. Both seasoned and new researchers in this field will appreciate the lucid
presentation and the rich bibliography.
