Open Problems: The Early Universe
Initial conditions mostly adiabatic, Gaussian, scale-invariant, consistent with the simplest inflationary scenario, but that remains effective. Is the spectral index really running? What does it mean?
Can we have a better limit on non-Gaussianity?
Can we detect primordial gravitational waves?Can we hope to fix inflation into a coherent supersymmetric context?

An happy review of the Cosmological Constant Problem
Log!
nicely 96% Dark, with Cosmological Constant
Shall we detect WIMPS eventually?Should we repeat the Einstein greatest blunder?
