Approximation Methods for Non–linear Gravitational Clustering
We discuss various analytical approximation methods for following the evolution of cosmological density perturbations into the strong (i.e. nonlinear) clustering regime. We start by giving a thorough treatment of linear gravitational instability in cosmological models and discussing the statistics of primordial density fluctuations produced in various scenarios of structure formation, and the r...
متن کاملComparison of Dynamical Approximation Schemes for Non–Linear Gravitational Clustering
We have recently conducted a controlled comparison of a number of approximations for gravitational clustering against the same n–body simulations. These include ordinary linear perturbation theory (Eulerian), the lognormal approximation, the adhesion approximation, the frozen-flow approximation, the Zel’dovich approximation (describable as first–order Lagrangian perturbation theory), and its se...
متن کاملChallenges in Non Linear Gravitational Clustering
This article addresses some issues related to statistical description of gravitating systems in an expanding backgrounds. In particular, I describe (a) how the non linear mode-mode coupling transfers power from one scale to another in the Fourier space if the initial power spectrum is sharply peaked at a given scale and (b) what are the asymptotic characteristics of gravitational clustering tha...
متن کاملNon-linear gravitational clustering in scalar field cosmologies
Non-linear gravitational clustering in a universe dominated by dark energy, modelled by a ‘quintessence’ scalar field, and cold dark matter with space-time varying mass is studied. Models of this type, where the variable mass is induced by dependence on the scalar field, as suggested by string theory or extra-dimensions, have been proposed as a viable solution of the coincidence problem. A gene...
متن کاملNon-linear gravitational clustering: smooth halos, substructures and scaling exponents
Within the framework of hierarchical clustering scenarios, we investigate the consequences for the properties of virialized halos of the constraints provided by numerical simulations on the first few correlation functions. Thus, we show that the density field cannot be described by a collection of smooth halos with a universal density profile. This implies that substructures within larger objec...
