Gravitational lens determinations of cosmological parametersCurrently available attempts to determine the three classical cosmological parameters (H(0), Omega(0), and Lambda), using gravitational lens techniques and arguments are reviewed. These suggest that H(0) greater than about 75 km/s/Mpc, that contributions to Omega(0) by certain hypothetical types of dark matter are less than 1, and that Lambda is considerably smaller than 3H(0)-squared if a flat cosmological model is assumed. Unfortunately, none of these three conclusions is satisfactorily free of model dependence, possible systematic error, and caveats.
