SUMMARY:Cracks in the Standard Cosmological Model: Anomalies\, Tensions\, 
 and Hints of New Physics - Eleonora Di Valentino (University of Sheffield)

DESCRIPTION:The ΛCDM model has long served as the standard paradigm in co
 smology\, offering a remarkably successful description of the Universe’s
  evolution. Yet\, as observational precision continues to improve\, persis
 tent tensions have emerged across a range of probes\, including the well-k
 nown Hubble constant discrepancy. While individual datasets may each align
  with ΛCDM\, their collective interpretation reveals significant discorda
 nces that challenge the model’s internal consistency. In this talk\, I w
 ill review the most prominent tensions in modern cosmology and assess thei
 r implications. I will present recent results pointing to hints of dynamic
 al dark energy and interactions within the dark sector. I will also reflec
 t on the growing influence of methodological choices\, such as dataset sel
 ection and model assumptions\, in shaping our cosmological conclusions.
