A. Riotto, "Cosmology scenarios and particle physics";

Abstract:
Links between particle physics and  cosmology will be discussed.
After a general introduction to basic cosmology, the following topics will
be addressed: cosmological inflation (model building, predictions, and
comparison with observations of the cosmic microwave background
anisotropies and the large scale structure); dark matter and dark energy.
