Infinity in string cosmology: A review through open problems

High Energy Physics - Theory 2017-02-22 v2 General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract

We review recent developments in the field of string cosmology with particular emphasis on open problems having to do mainly with geometric asymptotics and singularities. We discuss outstanding issues in a variety of currently popular themes, such as tree-level string cosmology asymptotics, higher-order string correction effects, M-theory cosmology, braneworlds, and finally ambient cosmology.
