This book brings together reviews from leading international
authorities on the developments in the study of dark matter and
dark energy, as seen from both their cosmological and particle
physics side. Studying the physical and astrophysical properties of
the dark components of our Universe is a crucial step towards the
ultimate goal of unveiling their nature. The work developed from a
doctoral school sponsored by the Italian Society of General
Relativity and Gravitation. The book starts with a concise
introduction to the standard cosmological model, as well as with a
presentation of the theory of linear perturbations around a
homogeneous and isotropic background. It covers the particle
physics and cosmological aspects of dark matter and (dynamical)
dark energy, including a discussion of how modified theories of
gravity could provide a possible candidate for dark energy. A
detailed presentation is also given of the possible ways of testing
the theory in terms of cosmic microwave background, galaxy redshift
surveys and weak gravitational lensing observations. Included is a
chapter reviewing extensively the direct and indirect methods of
detection of the hypothetical dark matter particles. Also included
is a self-contained introduction to the techniques and most
important results of numerical (e.g. N-body) simulations in
cosmology. " This volume will be useful to researchers, PhD and
graduate students in Astrophysics, Cosmology Physics and
Mathematics, who are interested in cosmology, dark matter and dark
energy.
