1. Cosmology: Our interest is in studying the making of the Universe, and the role of string theory through the formulation of the so called brane cosmology. In this case, we would like to better understand problems like gravitational shortcuts and the consequences for the structure of the cosmos. We also study the structure of the universe in terms of quantity and description of dark matter and dark energy, their possible interaction and the consequences of this interaction, especially in the making of the structures of the modern universe.
2. Gravitation: We study perturbations in strong gravitational systems to understand the classical structure of these systems, the shape of possible gravitational waves they emit, and, in the case of a quantum gravitational theory, the signs of gravitons emitted in particle accelerators that can, eventually, lead to quantifiable energies compatible with the gravity theory.
3. string Theory: We study the role of integrable models in string theory and some of its exact solutions.
