Overall, the two volumes contain a number of research, review and opinion articles, covering multiform aspects of mathematical and theoretical cosmology. The subject of mathematical cosmology plays a fundamental role in theoretical physics today and has deep applications in contemporary astronomy and astrophysics. Motivating important new ties and connections with general relativity and correlating with diverse features of string theory and quantum gravity, theoretical cosmology is in fact the most obvious 'testing agent' for many of the most advanced, pioneering or speculative ideas in these fields. Mathematical cosmology has acquired a unique status, potential and independence as a scientific field. It reveals its own problems, methods and techniques, often with the stimulus of general relativity, quantum field theory and above all differential geometry, but it also serves as the inevitable tank of ideas and models for use of the more data-driven, 'actual' physical cosmology. In fact, mathematical theoretical cosmology provides the driving force behind modern attempts to explain the—now manifold—observational cosmology data. We believe that this theme issue will be useful as a lasting guide and reference for interested people entering the field, as well as for experienced researchers who seek to expand their field of vision in this most majestic of scientific enterprises. We are grateful to the Royal Society for inviting us to guest-edit this theme issue, and especially to its Commissioning Editor, Ms Alice Power, for her precious help offered to us so willingly in all stages of this demanding project. We are also grateful to all contributors of this theme issue—old and new friends—who agreed to participate in this project and succeeded in writing such interesting, unique and novel articles covering a huge amount of cosmological ground. The fact that mathematical cosmology is a time-honoured field but at the same time such a timely and lively subject is testimony to the papers included in this theme issue and the efforts of all those devoted individuals who made that possible. Data accessibility This article does not contain any additional data. Conflict of interest declaration This theme issue was put together by the Guest Editor team under supervision from the journal's Editorial staff, following the Royal Society's ethical codes and best-practice guidelines. The Guest Editor team invited contributions and handled the review process. Individual Guest Editors were not involved in assessing papers where they had a personal, professional or financial conflict of interest with the authors or the research described. Independent reviewers assessed all papers. Invitation to contribute did not guarantee inclusion. Funding We received no funding for this study.
