In this talk, I will present the scientific promises of future CMB observations from space, based on an overview of white papers submitted in answer to the call for preparation of the 2035+ science programme at ESA.

I will discuss an intermittent type of primordial non-Gaussianity that arises from modulated preheating models and inflationary models with non-perturbative features. The non-Gaussianity has little impact on global statistics of the Universe. It produces or helps produce rare objects, such as CMB cold/hot spots and supermassive black holes at high redshift. The environment of rare objects may...

Studies of the statistical properties of the CMB maps at large angular scales gives a unique opportunity to pose important questions about very fundamental assumptions made in the standard cosmological model such as statistical isotropy and Gaussianity of the initial fluctuations. Since the COBE and WMAP data releases, considerable effort has been spent on testing these properties. Remarkably,...
