Description

This volume focuses on the recent developments of general relativity. On the theoretical side, the main issues addressed are the pressing questions of quantum gravity and related topics: supergravity, string theory, black hole physics, lower and higher dimensional models, geometry and topology. On the experimental side, recent progress in observational cosmology, in the study of structures in the universe and on the dark matter problem are reported.
