Description

The standard model of cosmology relies on the cosmological principle, under which it is assumed that the universe is statistically homogeneous and isotropic. I will discuss how statistical isotropy can be tested from observations, namely from weak-lensing surveys which are sensitive to the late phase of our Universe.
