Cosmology

Cosmologists at PI combine recent developments at the interface of astrophysics and fundamental physics to shed light on some of the major puzzles in the field: What is causing the observed cosmic acceleration? What is the nature of the dark matter? What can be learned from microwave background and large scale structure observations about theories of fundamental physics? Is inflation the correct paradigm of early-universe cosmology?
