73 (1994), 3195; Toward the theory of reheating after inflation.Physical Review D,
56 (1997), 3258. The self-consistent theory of preheating and reheating after infla-
tion is developed with special stress on the role of broad parametric resonance. The
presentation in Section 5.5 follows the main line of these papers.

29 (1957), 454. (See also:The Many-Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics,
eds. De Witt, B., Graham, N. (1973), (Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press.) This
remarkable paper is of great interest for those who want to pursue questions related to
the interpretation of the state vector of cosmological perturbations, mentioned at the
end of Section 8.3.3.
Vilenkin, A. Birth of inflationary universes.Physical Review D, 27 (1983), 2848. The eternal
self-reproduction regime is found for the new inflationary scenario.
Linde, A. Eternally existing self-reproducing chaotic inflationary universe.Physics Letters,
175B(1986), 395. It is pointed out that self-reproduction naturally arises in chaotic
inflation and this generically leads to eternal inflation and a nontrivial global structure
of the universe.


Gravitational instability (Chapters 6 and 7)


Jeans, J.Phil. Trans., 129 , (1902), 44;Astronomy and Cosmogony(1928), Cambridge:
Cambridge University Press. The Newtonian theory of gravitational instability in non-
expanding media is developed.
Bonnor, W.Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 117 (1957), 104. The
Newtonian theory of cosmological perturbations in an expanding matter-dominated
universe is developed.
Tolman, R.Relativity, Thermodynamics and Cosmology(1934), Oxford: Oxford University
Press. The exact spherically symmetric solution for a cloud of dust is found within
General Relativity (see Section 6.4.1).
Zel’dovich, Ya. Gravitational instability: an approximate theory for large density perturba-
tions.Astronomy and Astrophysics, 5 (1970), 84. It is discovered that gravitational
collapse generically leads to anisotropic structures and the exact nonlinear solution
for a one-dimensional collapsing cloud of dust is found (see Section 6.4.2).
