Description Our group has a recognized international prestige, being active in all areas of cosmology, relativity and their generalizations. We intend to answer numerous intriguing questions, such as why the properties of the Universe are as observed, how does a black hole form, how to characterize gravitational radiation emitted by isolated dynamical systems, or whether gravity can be quantized. For this, our group works on the theoretical and phenomenological modeling of the Universe based on the growing number of observational data obtained from the most powerful telescopes and on the gravitational lensing effect. We also deepen our understanding of the fundamental theory, its mathematical basis, and the different ways of quantizing gravity. |
