• A Status Review of Inflationary Cosmology

  http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-ph/0101119
  Thorough review of inflationary cosmology which focuses on two areas of recent progress: reheating and the quantum theory of cosmological perturbations. Suitable for graduate students and researchers.

• Introductory Review of Cosmic Inflation

  http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-ph/0304257
  Lecture notes by Shinji Tsujikawa (Univ. of Tokyo) about the basic concepts of inflation, the generation of density perturbations, and the mechanism for reheating after inflation. Based on lectures given at The Second Tah Poe School on Cosmology in 2003.
