| Abstract | String gas cosmology is an approach towards studying the effects of superstring theory on early universe cosmology which is based on new symmetries and new degrees of freedom of string theory. Within this context, it appears possible to stabilize the moduli which describe the size and shape of the extra spatial dimensions without the need of introducing many extra tools such as warping and fluxes. In this lecture, the recent progress towards moduli stabilization in string gas cosmology is reviewed, and outstanding problems for the scenario are discussed. In this Introduction, the conceptual problems of scalar field-driven inflationary cosmology (our current paradigm of early universe cosmology) will be reviewed. These are some of the reasons which motivate the search for a new theory of the very early universe. It will then be explained why string theory offers the promise of |
