Challenges for physical cosmology after Planck

Matias Zaldarriaga
Princeton

Abstract:

I will discuss the current status of physical cosmology after the latest Cosmic Microwave Background and other measurements. I will discuss the questions that still remain open in the field and how we might go about answering them. I will describe some recent theoretical developments that might contribute useful tools for overcoming some of the challenges that lie ahead.
