Theinflationaryuniversescenario[1]providesanattractiveresolutionofthewellknown“horizon”,“flatness”,and“causality”puzzlesencounteredinthestandardbigbangcos-
mology.Thisscenarioismosteasilyrealizedwithintheframeworkofbothordinaryand
supersymmetricgrandunifiedtheories(GUTS).Inthesimplestrealizationsofinflation,the
densityfluctuationsareGaussianandclosetotheHarrison-Zeldovichform,andtheback-

than10%ofthebackgrounddensityiscomposedofbaryons,andsothebulkofmatteris
“dark”,presumablyintheformofrelicelementaryparticles.
