Research topics outline

» Dark matter and dark matter-like effects: concerns the standard expectations for dark matter and changes on its nature or abundance due to nontrivial gravitational effects.

» Extensions of General Relativity: Renormalization group extended general relativity, scalar-tensor gravity, screening mechanisms...

» Galaxy modelling: Mass profiles, rotation curves, dispersion velocity curves, the core/cusp issue and other small scale issues, model testing and comparison, dark matter halo profiles, non-Newtonian models that mimic partially or completely dark matter, the Radial Acceleration Relation....

» Mathematical physics: General issues concerning gravitational phenomena, dualities and Hamiltonian description.
