Abstract: | Measurements of CMB anisotropy and, more recently, polarization have played a very important role in allowing precise determination
of various parameters of the ‘standard’ cosmological model. The expectation of the paradigm of inflation and the generic prediction
of the simplest realization of inflationary scenario in the early Universe have also been established — ‘acausally’ correlated
initial perturbations in a flat, statistically isotropic Universe, adiabatic nature of primordial density perturbations. Direct
evidence for gravitational instability mechanism for structure formation from primordial perturbations has been established.
In the next decade, future experiments promise to strengthen these deductions and uncover the remaining crucial signature
of inflation — the primordial gravitational wave background. |
