Abstract

Although a cosmological constant framework is still in agreement with current data, several other cosmological models in which gravity is modified are also still viable. There are several approaches that one can adopt in order to distinguish Λ CDM from modified gravity models. One can try to: (a) use or combine different probes, (b) get more data, (c) improve the analysis to extract more information from the available data. Below we focus on weak lensing, its different approaches and the impact of statistics we use on constraining or distinguishing cosmological models.
