THE STANDARD MODEL OF PARTICLE COSMOLOGY AND ITS UNSOLVED PROBLEMS
Abstract
Abstract: Modern cosmology is based on the synthesis of general relativity (GR) and the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics, known as the ΛCDM model. Despite successes in describing the evolution of the Universe, fundamental questions remain: the nature of dark matter and dark energy, the mechanism of cosmic inflation, and the unification of quantum theory with gravity. This work analyzes key aspects of the ΛCDM model, its connection to particle physics, and prospects for addressing unresolved issues.
