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?

Shall we detect WIMPS eventually?Should we repeat the Einstein greatest blunder?

The CMB Future: Challenging The Concordance

Imaging on all relevant CMB scales (Planck)

TE modes cosmological polarisation, large scales (Planck)

B modes cosmological polarisation, if r>30% (Planck)

E modes cosmological polarisation, large scales (Planck)
