Abstract

The standard model of cosmology is built upon on a series of propositions on how the early, intermediate, and late epochs of the Universe behave. In this seminar, I am going to show how Principle Components can fully parameterize the behavior of dark energy on smooth dark energy, inflaton on single-field inflation, and optical depth on reionization. If the current paradigms of inflation, reionization, and cosmic acceleration are falsified, then the standard model will demand radically new ideas to describe the data. The fourth-generation surveys - including Simons, CLASS, LSST, WFIRST, DESI - can, therefore, be employed to challenge some of the core hypotheses of the standard model.
