摘要: This paper reviews the theory of inflationary universe models, giving particular emphasis to question origin and growth energy-density fluctuations in these new cosmologies. The first four sections constitute a pedagogical introduction some important quantum field methods used scenarios: calculation effective potential, finite-temperature theory, analysis decay metastable state, free curved space-time.
