Cosmological models beyond the standard ΛCDM are attracting more and more attention lately (maybe also because of Euclid?) Several conferences and meetings devoted to non-standard cosmologies are taking place... Just to give an idea, my personal agenda of the last month has been: June 18-20, Paris: 17th Itzykson meeting “Heart of Darkness: Dark Energy and Modified Gravity” June 24-29, Ringberg: International conference “The quest for Dark Energy: when theory meets simulations” July 2-6, Sesto: International conference “Beyond ΛCDM: from dark matter halos to large-scale structures”

Conclusions

The Ringberg conference brought together experts in theoretical modeling and numerical simulations of non-standard DE scenarios The simulations sessions have shown that an impressive number

  • f independent efforts towards simulating DE/MG models are

being pursued in the community Multiple independent codes based on different basic algorithms have been developed, and could now be tested against each

  • ther

Some first post-processing tools are also being developed and start providing results on possible specific diagnostics about the nature of gravity and DE General agreement that DE and MG should be treated as a single phenomenon
