How do structures, such as
galaxies, form in the Universe? The mystery of galaxy and cluster
formation cannot be separated from the general problem of large-scale
structure formation taking into account the initial conditions of
matter and energy content in the Universe. Our methodology is mainly
oriented towards the study of implications obtained from the theories
about the origin of large structures, as well as the problems related
with data acquisition and analysis, especially in the case of the new
generation Virtual Observatories and Terabyte data bases. Among
covered topics it is worthwhile mentioning the following: comparison
of the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect with other mass indicators,
(integrated) Sachs-Wolf effect, high
red-shift galactic formation and millimetric cosmology (ALMA, First,
GTM/LMT, Shades, Blast, Hershel), galaxy clustering, luminosity and mass function (eg SDSS, 2dFGRS, GTC)
galaxy formation models and biasing, anisotropies in the CMB temperature
distribution, (eg space missions such as WMAP, Plank), the
statistics of the primordial distribution of fluctuations, modeling
for the growth of sctructure, reconstruction
of the primordial spectrum, and its interpretation, etc.
