Tests of cosmological models constrained by inflation
Abstract
The inflationary scenario requires that the universe have negligible curvature along constant-density surfaces. In the Friedmann-Lemaitre cosmology that leaves us with two free parameters, Hubble's constant H0 and the density parameter Ω0 (or, equivalently, the cosmological constant Λ). The author discusses here tests of this set of models from local and high-redshift observations. The data agree reasonably well with Ω0 ≡ 0.2.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
