Abstract

Matthias Bartelmann
Cosmology

  • Foundations of the cosmological standard model
  • Friedmann class of cosmological solutions to Einstein's field equations
  • Observables in this class of models: distances, age, thermal evolution, structure growth
  • Empirical evidence for the cosmological standard model
  • Cosmic expansion
  • Age constraints
  • Thermal relics
  • Structure growth
  • Dark matter
  • Accelerated expansion and dark energy
  • Inflation and the quantum origin of structures
