Over the last few years, a large family of cosmological attractor models has been discovered, which can successfully match the latest inflation-related observational data. Many of these models can also describe a small cosmological constant $\Lambda$. In this talk, I will present a recently discovered class of $\alpha$-attractor models with dynamical dark energy, including the cosmological...
Determining the equation of state of Dark Energy using Galaxy Clustering and Weak Lensing.
Cosmic shear, the weak gravitational lensing caused by the large-scale structure, is one of the primary probes to test gravity on cosmological scales with current and future surveys such as Euclid. In particular, cosmic shear is sensitive to both standard GR cosmological parameters and those that describe modified theories of gravity, such as those belonging to the Horndeski class. These...
