| Summary:

The China Space Station Telescope (CSST) is the next-generation Stage~IV
survey telescope. It can simultaneously perform multi-band imaging and slitless
spectroscopic wide- and deep-field surveys in ten years and an ultra-deep field
(UDF) survey in two years, which are suitable for cosmological studies. Here we
review several CSST cosmological probes, such as weak gravitational lensing,
two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) galaxy clustering, galaxy
cluster abundance, cosmic void, Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), and baryonic
acoustic oscillations (BAO), and explore their capabilities and prospects in
discovering new physics and opportunities in cosmology. We find that CSST will
measure the matter distribution from small to large scales and the expansion
history of the Universe with extremely high accuracy, which can provide
percent-level stringent constraints on the property of dark energy and dark
matter and precisely test the theories of gravity.
