CGM Research Group
Cosmology - Gravity - Magnetohydrodynamics
This Research Group, coordinated by Prof. Giovanni Montani, is mainly based at the Physics Department of "La Sapienza'', University of Rome (Group Cosm1) and composed of about ten young researchers, undergraduate students, Graduate and PhD or Post-Doctoral fellows.
The research interests of the CGM-Group are in Primordial Cosmology, General Relativity, Modified and Quantum Theories of Gravity and eventually in Astrophysical and Laboratory Plasmas.
The main goals pursued by the research activities, developed in the CGM-Group, concern the construction of a coherent picture for the origin and evolution of the Primordial Universe, with particular attention to the resolution of the Big-Bang singularity, the determination of a classical limit for the cosmological dynamics and the emergence of a reliable model for the formation and evolution of large scale structures.
