Contents:
1. Non-linear gravitational clustering in an expanding universe / Jasjeet Singh Bagla -- 2. Dark ages and cosmic reionization / Tirthankar Roy Choudhury -- 3. Probing fundamental constant evolution with redshifted spectral lines / Nissim Kanekar -- 4. Averaging the inhomogeneous universe / Aseem Paranjape -- 5. Signals of cosmic magnetic fields from the cosmic microwave background radiation / T.R. Seshadri -- 6. Quantum corrections to Bekenstein-Hawking entropy / S. Shankaranarayanan -- 7. Quantum measurement and quantum gravity: many worlds or collapse of the wave function? / T.P. Singh -- 8. On the generation and evolution of perturbations during inflation and reheating / L. Sriramkumar -- 9. Patterns in neural processing / Sunu Engineer -- Articles co-authored by the contributors with T. Padmanabhan Index.
Summary: This book comprises expository articles on different aspects of gravitation and cosmology that are aimed at graduate students. The topics discussed are of contemporary interest assuming only an elementary introduction to gravitation and cosmology. The presentations are to a certain extent pedagogical in nature, and the material developed is not usually found in sufficient detail in recent textbooks in these areas.
