New Frontiers in Fundamental Cosmology

During the past forty years, astrophysical cosmology has seen remarkable advances. The standard ΛCDM model provides a simple and elegant description of the large-scale evolution during the hot expansion phase. Yet, fundamental cosmology is far from being done. In this talk, I will give a brief overview of unsettled issues and novel approaches that are opening up many exciting research opportunities.
