Physics of Cosmic Microwave Background anisotropies and primordial fluctuations
arXiv:astro-ph/0109274 · doi:10.1023/A:1015822607090
Abstract
The physics of the origin and evolution of CMB anisotropies is described. I explain the idea and status of cosmic parameter estimation and follow it up with critical comments on its dependence on model assumptions and initial conditions.
