We will meet to discuss the topics investigated by Iniziativa speciale.
They include the following attempts to unify both the guiding principles of physics and all fundamental interactions in a consistent framework.
- The gravitation and the physics of the Universe within the framework of field theory, paying attention to experimental verifications.
- The principles of quantum physics at the Planck scale.
- Signatures of quantum gravity effects in the cosmic microwave background and in experiments.
- Cosmological singularities in quantum gravity.
- Geodesic and frame-dragging precession measurement on theories of quantum gravity.
- The Universe undergoing accelerated expansion.
- The gravitational Lagrangian and the theory of matter fields coupled to gravity.
- Dark energy and relativistic theories of gravity.
- f(R) and scalar-tensor theories of gravity.
- interplay with inflationary models and matter-antimatter asymmetry in the Universe.
- The Nature of Dark Matter.
- A new paradigm for DM in which its scenario is obtained by reverse engeneering the crucial information we get from the internal properties of galaxies.
-
Gravitational lensing and the complex history of the structures in the Dark Universe.
