Cosmology News & Events

Abstract: The knowledge of the Universe is essentially based on the theory of general relativity (GR). If from one hand, solar system data is in excellent agreement to the theory, available cosmological evidence on the other, is consistent with GR provided one assumes the existence of dark energy and dark matter.

Abstract: One of the most interesting and current phenomenological extensions of General Relativity is the so-called f(R) class of theories; a natural generalization of this includes an explicit non-minimal coupling between matter and curvature.
