Description
We shall review the cosmic generalisation of the virial theorem, known as the Layzer-Irvine equation, also independently derived by Dmitriev and Zeldovich. This equation has been studied in the literature for both dark matter and dark matter-dark energy interaction models, as well as in the context of alternative theories of gravity. We shall discuss some results of the previous scenarios and point out future directions.
