Title
Exoplanets and habitable world
Abstract
I will review questions in the observation of exoplanets and introduce the detection methods. The habitable condition for life is an important question in the planetary systems, galactic scales and cosmological scales. I will discuss on how the initial condition of the universe is fine-tuned to have an habitable condition. The parameters in our concern are the number of e-folding during the inflationary period and matter-antimatter asymmetry of the universe.
