Cosmological models (Cargèse lectures 1998)
The aim of this set of lectures is a systematic presentation of a 1+3 covariant approach to
studying the geometry, dynamics, and observational properties of relativistic cosmological models.

Cosmological Constant
Recently two different groups have measured the apparent brightness of supernovae with redshifts
near z = 1. Based on this data the old idea of a cosmological constant is making a comeback.

The Cosmological Constant
The following pages present a discussion of the role the cosmological constant plays in modern
cosmology. They are designed to offer an overview of how the cosmological constant alters standard
cosmology, and to discuss whether a non-zero cosmological constant exists today.

Cosmic Topology
General relativity does not allow one to specify the topology of space, leaving the possibility
that space is multi- rather than simply- connected. This paper reviews the mathematical properties
of multi-connected spaces, and the different tools to classify them and to analyse their
properties.

Minkowski Functionals in Cosmology
Minkowski functionals provide a novel tool to characterize the large-scale galaxy distribution in
the Universe. Here we give a brief tutorial on the basic features of these morphological
measures and indicate their practical application for simulation data and galaxy redshift
