Description

A relativistic version of the cosmological principle is presented where maximal symmetry is not postulated on surfaces of `simultaneity', but rather on past light-cones. This principle is then confronted with observational data: the Hubble diagram of supernovae, weak lensing, CMB and BAO. (joint work with Andre Tilquin)
