Birth of the universe and fundamental physics : proceedings of the international workshop held in Rome, Italy, 18 21 May 1994

The articles collected in this volume cover topics ranging from Planck-scale physics to galaxy clustering. They deal with various new ideas from cosmology, astrophysics and particle physics that might lead to a better understanding of our physical universe. Among the topics covered are inflationary...
