Abstract

This paper reviews the theory of inflationary universe models, giving particular emphasis to the question of origin and growth of energy-density fluctuations in these new cosmologies. The first four sections constitute a pedagogical introduction to some of the important quantum field theory methods used in inflationary universe scenarios: calculation of the effective potential, finite-temperature quantum field theory, analysis of the decay of a metastable quantum state, and free field theory in curved space-time.
