摘要：

这一系列的讲座给出了宇宙膨胀的主题的教学审查。我讨论了Friedmann-Robertson-Walker宇宙学和标准热大爆炸的视界和平坦性问题，并介绍了暴胀作为这些问题的解决方案，重点是从一个单一的标量场暴胀的简单方案。我讨论了暴胀中的量子模以及原始张量和标量涨落的产生。最后，我提供比较暴胀模型的WMAP卫星测量的宇宙微波背景，并简要讨论未来的方向暴胀物理。大部分的讲座应该是只有狭义相对论背景的高年级本科生或刚开始的研究生可以接触到的，尽管熟悉广义相对论和量子场论对更技术性的部分会有帮助。

英文摘要：

This series of lectures gives a pedagogical review of the subject of cosmological inflation. I discuss Friedmann-Robertson-Walker cosmology and the horizon and flatness problems of the standard hot Big Bang, and introduce inflation as a solution to those problems, focusing on the simple scenario of inflation from a single scalar field. I discuss quantum modes in inflation and the generation of primordial tensor and scalar fluctuations. Finally, I provide comparison of inflationary models to the WMAP satellite measurement of the Cosmic Microwave Background, and briefly discuss future directions for inflationary physics. The majority of the lectures should be accessible to advanced undergraduates or beginning graduate students with only a background in Special Relativity, although familiarity with General Relativity and quantum field theory will be helpful for the more technical sections.
