Laboratory of Cosmology and Gravity (CGL)

The Laboratory of Cosmology and Gravity (CGL) focuses on the theoretical studies of gravitational physics. Around a hundred years ago, Einstein wrote down his famous field equation in General Relativity (GR) predicted many phenomena, and continuously proved to be confirmed with astronomical experiments. Including the expansion universe, the existence of compact objects (black holes), gravitational waves…etc. It is however that with the evidence for the understanding of our universe, researchers found that GR is not sufficient to explain all the phenomena, and some theories beyond GR be required. As an example, the accelerated expansion of our universe leads to the dark energy problem, the binding of the angular velocity of the galaxy leads to the dark matter problem, the early universe,…etc. Furthermore, many undergoing issues in theoretical gravity are still flourishing and developing, for example, the quantization of gravity, the black hole physics associated with various physical phenomena,…etc. The above studies motivated and covered our research interests in the CGL lab.

A more precise illustration of our current undergoing research project includes the dRGT massive gravity, minimally modified gravity theories, preheating and reheating of inflation, holographic dark energy, coupled dark energy, black hole thermodynamics, and black hole perturbation theory.

Hosted at the CGL is the Computational Astrophysics and Cosmology Research Unit – CACR
