A number of challenges to the standard Λ CDM model have been emerging during the past
few years as the accuracy of cosmological observations improves. In this review we discuss …

In this review we present a thoroughly comprehensive survey of recent work on modified
theories of gravity and their cosmological consequences. Amongst other things, we cover …

We present cosmological results from the measurement of baryon acoustic oscillations
(BAO) in galaxy, quasar and Lyman-$\alpha $ forest tracers from the first year of …

We present cosmological results from a combined analysis of galaxy clustering and weak
gravitational lensing, using 1321 deg 2 of griz imaging data from the first year of the Dark …

ABSTRACT The Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) 5-year data provide
stringent limits on deviations from the minimal, six-parameter Λ cold dark matter model. We …

Over the past decade, f (R) theories have been extensively studied as one of the simplest
modifications to General Relativity. In this article we review various applications of f (R) …

We analyse the large-scale correlation function of the 6dF Galaxy Survey (6dFGS) and
detect a baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) signal at 105 h− 1 Mpc. The 6dFGS BAO …

Over recent decades, the role of torsion in gravity has been extensively investigated along
the main direction of bringing gravity closer to its gauge formulation and incorporating spin …

We present a one per cent measurement of the cosmic distance scale from the detections of
the baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) in the clustering of galaxies from the Baryon …

We present the first cosmology results from large-scale structure using the full 5000 deg 2 of
imaging data from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Data Release 1. We perform an analysis …
