High Precision Cosmology
I review the current status of cosmology as emerging from recent observations of cosmic microwave background anisotropies as well as from other sources of cosmological information.
متن کاملPrecision cosmology and the landscape
After reviewing the cosmological constant problem—why is Λ not huge?— I outline the two basic approaches that had emerged by the late 1980s, and note that each made a clear prediction. Precision cosmological experiments now indicate that the cosmological constant is nonzero. This result strongly favors the environmental approach, in which vacuum energy can vary discretely among widely separated...
متن کاملWeak lensing power spectra for precision cosmology
It is usually assumed that the ellipticity power spectrum measured in weak lensing observations can be expressed as an integral over the underlying matter power spectrum. This is true at order O(Φ2) in the gravitational potential. We extend the standard calculation, constructing all corrections to order O(Φ4). There are four types of corrections: corrections to the lensing shear due to multiple...
متن کاملBig-bang Nucleosynthesis Predictions for Precision Cosmology
The determination of the primeval deuterium abundance has opened a precision era in big-bang nucleosynthesis (BBN), making accurate predictions more important than ever before. We present in analytic form new, more precise predictions for the light-element abundances and their error matrix. Using our predictions and the primeval deuterium abundance we infer a baryon density of Bh = 0:020 0:002 ...
متن کاملPrecision cosmology as a test for statistics
We compute the shift in the epoch of matter-radiation equality due to the possible existence of a different statistical (non-extensive) background. The shift is mainly caused by a different neutrinophoton temperature ratio. We then consider the prospects to use future large galaxy surveys and cosmic microwave background measurements to constrain the degree of non-extensivity of the universe.
