Abstract

The evolution of the inflationary theory is described, starting from the Starobinsky model and the old inflation scenario, toward chaotic inflation and the theory of eternally expanding self-reproducing inflationary universe. A special attention is devoted to the recent progress in the theory of reheating and creation of matter after inflation. We also discuss the theory of gravitino and moduli production, as well as some recent developments and problems related to string cosmology and brane world scenario.
