DESCRIPTION:One of the most popular theoretical aspects of nowadays cosmol
 ogy is the behavior of gravity on large scales. Galaxy clusters are the bi
 ggest gravitationally bound objects in our Universe and their properties c
 an easily be predicted with simple formalisms. They are very massive\, mul
 ti-component systems that consist of dark matter and baryons\, and emit ra
 diation almost across the entire electromagnetic spectrum. Therefore\, gal
 axy clusters are extensively used to probe the evolution of the large scal
 e structure formation and as a tool to test the standard cosmological mode
 ls. Recent studies of the growth of galaxy clusters throughout the history
  of the universe agrees with the concordance Lambda Cold Dark Matter (CDM)
  model. They also help to understand how large scale structures (LSS) are 
 formed from the seeded fluctuation generated at the very early stage of th
 e universe. In this talk\, I will present the cosmological information obt
 ained from current and future studies of galaxy clusters\, with focus on o
 bservations with the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich  effect.
