TY  - JOUR
AB  - Despite its continued observational successes, there is a persistent (and growing) interest in extendingcosmology beyond the standard model, ΛCDM. This is motivated by a range of apparently serioustheoretical issues, involving such questions as the cosmological constant problem, the particle nature ofdark matter, the validity of general relativity on large scales, the existence of anomalies in the CMB and onsmall scales, and the predictivity and testability of the inflationary paradigm. In this paper, we summarizethe current status of ΛCDM as a physical theory, and review investigations into possible alternatives alonga number of different lines, with a particular focus on highlighting the most promising directions. Whilethe fundamental problems are proving reluctant to yield, the study of alternative cosmologies has led toconsiderable progress, with much more to come if hopes about forthcoming high-precision observationsand new theoretical ideas are fulfilled.
