| 12:30 - 13:30 Joint Astronomy and Particle Physics Colloquium – Hybrid Format Exploring Gravity Through Cosmic Structures: From the Web to Dyson Spheres School PARTICLES AND ACCELERATORS Abstract: The ?CDM model of cosmology provides a robust framework for understanding the formation and evolution of cosmic structures. In this talk, I will outline the process of structure formation and introduce the cosmic web, highlighting its key components: halos, filaments, sheets, and voids. I will then discuss two approaches to analyzing the statistics and distribution of these structures: The Excursion Set Theory and One-Point Statistics. Using these frameworks, I will also explore how they can be employed to test the principles of general relativity and its assumptions. Finally, I will present the concept of Dyson spher ... |
