RATING COSMOLOGICAL MODELS

Abstract

I summarize the successes and failures of the most popular current cosmological models in accounting for the available observations. This evaluation, presented as the summary of the 11th Potsdam Workshop on Large-Scale Structure, was discussed by all the participants. I present the ratings given to each model based on a confrontation with the data, and the final vote taken.
