Cosmology with SKA

Abstract

We review some of the major contributions that the Square Kilometer Array (SKA) will provide for Cosmology. We discuss the SKA measurements of the equation of state parameter for dark energy from Baryonic Acoustic Oscillations (BAO), of the dark matter power spectrum and modifications of the Poisson equation or the slip relation from weak lensing. We also comment on measurements of the cosmic magnetism and its role on the dynamics of the Universe.
