Cosmological Structure Formation by Aseem Paranjape
Explore the foundations of cosmological structure formation in this lecture by Aseem Paranjape, part of the "Cosmology - The Next Decade" program at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Delve into the complexities of the Lambda cold dark matter (LCDM) paradigm, examining unsolved puzzles surrounding dark matter and dark energy. Gain insights into the latest developments in cosmological experiments, including large scale structure surveys, CMB spectral distortions, polarization, and 21cm experiments. Learn about the challenges in theoretical understanding of large scale structure and the importance of filling these knowledge gaps. Cover topics such as cosmological perturbation theory, growth of cosmological LSS, gravitational lensing, galaxy formation and evolution, and the intersection of gravitational wave physics with cosmology.
