4-d universe described by general relativity
Standard Picture of the Universe
Surely, standard model particles are components of the universe.
However, WMAP and other cosmological data tells us that they are not dominant components.

In the conventional standard cosmology, it is assumed elementaly particles occupy the universe. As the every particles can be regarded as modes of a string, it is natural to imagine the universe filled with a string gas.

However, winding modes in the internal space would play an important role in solving cosmological issues.

Dimensional reduction
6-d toroidal space
We assume Brandenberger-Vafa mechanism works.Thus, the 4-d spacetime is practically non-compactwhile 6-d internal space is toroidally compactified.
By dimensional reduction, we can derive the 4-dimensional effective action which is useful to describe the low energy dynamics.

Previous works in string gas compactification
Numerical evidence of stability of the volume moduli is shown. But the dilaton is running logarithmically.
Watson & Brandenberger 2003
Using the 4-d effective action approach, it is shown that the dilaton and the radion can not be stabilized. This 4-d effective action is not manifestly T-duality invariant.
Battefeld & Watson 2004
The importance of massless modes is stressed and the stability of the volume moduli is proved analytically.
Watson 2004, Patil & Brandenberger 2004

Shape moduli in string gas compactification
The stability of shape moduli is partially analyzed using the massless modes at the self-dual point.
Brandenberger, Cheung, and Watson 2005
Here, we intend to give a complete stability analysis of all moduli for a simple compactification by using the T-duality invariant 4-d effective action.
We will also clarify why the dilaton is stabilized in our numerical result.

Cosmology in String Gas compactification
After string gas dominated stage, the radiation dominant stage commences. During this stage, moduli including the dilaton are stable.
Then, the matter dominant stage takes over. Here, we have to assume the dark matter consisting of massive string modes so that the stabilization of moduli is guaranteed.
It is difficult to incorporate the inflation in the cosmological hist
ory. The reason is apparent. If we consider the inflaton potential, it destroys the stability of the moduli. We might seek other mechanism to produce the large scale structure of the universe.
Dark energy is also difficult to explain.

“Inflation” in string gas compactfication From the T-duality point of view, it is natural to consider the su
per - inflation which is driven by the mobile dilaton.

Summary
We have constructed the T-duality invariant 4-d effective action.
We have shown the stability of volume moduli, shape moduli, and t
he flux moduli in the string gas compactification.
However, the dilaton is only marginally stable.
The string gas cosmology is one approach to string cosmology wh
ich has various nice features.
The many challenges remains to be solved. In particular, the struct
ure formation problem is crucial for the success of this scenario. A
lthough the conventional inflation seems to be incompatible with t
he string gas cosmology, pre-big-bang type scenario seems to be
viable.
