Beyond Standard Inflationary Cosmology
  The inflationary scenario is not the only paradigm of early universe
cosmology which is consistent with current observations. General criteria will
be presented which any successful early universe model must satisfy. Various
ways, including inflation, will be presented which satisfy these conditions. It
will then be argued that if nature is described at a fundamental level by
superstring theory, a cosmology without an initial space-time singularity will
emerge, and a structure formation scenario which does not include inflation may
be realized.
