Past, Present, and Future of the Scaling Relations of Galaxies and Active Galactic Nuclei

We review the properties of the established Scaling Relations (SRs) of galaxies and active galactic nuclei (AGN), focusing on their origin and expected evolution back in time, providing a short history of the most important progresses obtained up to now and discussing the possible future studies. We...
