1. Aspectos clássicos da cosmologia inflacionária.
The last decades have been of major developments in cosmology since the advent of cosmological inflation as a solution to the problems of standard cosmological model. As one of the main paradigms of modern cosmology, to study the classical theory of inflation is the main objective of this work. Before, we present the main evidences of universal expansion and

2. Análogos cosmológicos dos efeitos Schwinger estático e oscilatório / Cosmological Analogues of the Static and Oscillatory Schwinger Effect
In this work we study the quantum effects of particle creation in the cosmological context and of the classical electrodynamics. With the studies of the particle creation in constant and oscillatory external electrical fields, the known static and oscillatory Schwinger effects, respectively, it was possible to study the polarization of the quantum vacuum and

3. Teoria inflacionária em universos anisotrópicos / Inflationary theory in anisotropic universes
In this work we generalize the standard theory of cosmological perturbations to the case of homogeneous and anisotropic universes described by a Bianchi I spacetime metric. As an application of this theory we investigate the predictions of an inflationary anisotropic phase, both at the classical and quantum level. After discussing the evolution of the backgr

4. Nonlinear resonance in bouncing universes
The dynamics of closed LFRW universes with a massive inflaton field is examined where Friedmann equations are corrected by the introduction of a potential term arising from quantum gravity corrections to cosmological scenarios near the singularity. This extra term implements nonsingular bounces in the early evolution of the universe. For certain windows in t

5. Influence functional approach to decoherence during inflation
We show how the quantum to classical transition of the cosmological fluctuations produced during inflation can be described by means of the influence functional and the master equation. We split the inflaton field into the system-field (long-wavelength modes), and the environment, represented by its own short-wavelength modes. We compute the decoherence time

6. Remarks on some vacuum solutions of scalar-tensor cosmological models
We present a class of exact vacuum solutions corresponding to de Sitter and warm inflation models in the framework of scalar-tensor cosmologies. We show that in both cases the field equations reduce to planar dynamical systems with constraints. Then, we carry out a qualitative analysis of the models by examining the phase diagrams of the solutions near the e

7. Frontiers of Inflationary Cosmology
After a brief review the theory of cosmological perturbations, I highlight some recent progress in the area of reheating in inflationary cosmology, focusing in particular on parametric amplification of super-Hubble cosmological fluctuations, and on the role of noise in the resonance dynamics (yielding a new proof of Anderson localization). I then discuss sev

8. Galaxy formation
It is argued that within the standard Big Bang cosmological model the bulk of the mass of the luminous parts of the large galaxies likely had been assembled by redshift z ∼ 10. Galaxy assembly this early would be difficult to fit in the widely discussed adiabatic cold dark matter model for structure formation, but it could agree with an isocurvature v

9. Cosmic microwave background theory
A long-standing goal of theorists has been to constrain cosmological parameters that define the structure formation theory from cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy experiments and large-scale structure (LSS) observations. The status and future promise of this enterprise is described. Current band-powers in ℓ-space are consistent with a ΔT fl
