Statistics of Cosmological Inhomogeneities
This contribution to the Proceedings is based on the talk given at the Conference on Birth of the Universe and Fundamental Physics, Rome, May 18-21, 1994. Some selected topics of the subject are reviewed: Models of Primordial Fluctuations; Reconstruction of the Cosmological Density Probability Distribution Function (PDF) from Cumulants; PDFs in the Zel’dovich Approximation and from Summarizing ...
متن کاملCosmological parameters and cosmic topology
Geometry constrains but does not dictate the topology of the three-dimensional space. In a locally spatially homogeneous and isotropic universe, however, the topology of its spatial section dictates its geometry. We show that, besides determining the geometry, the knowledge of the spatial topology through the circles-in-the-sky offers an effective way of setting constraints on the density param...
متن کاملEffects of Inhomogeneities on Cosmic Expansion
We evaluate the effect of inhomogeneity energy on the expansion rate of the universe. Our method is to expand to Newtonian order in potential and velocity but to take into account fully nonlinear density inhomogeneities. To linear order in density, kinetic and gravitational potential energy contribute to the total energy of the universe with the same scaling with expansion factor as spatial cur...
متن کاملCosmological cosmic strings.
We investigate the effect of an infinite cosmic string on a cosmological background. We find that the metric is approximately a scaled version of the empty space string metric, i.e. conical in nature. We use our results to place bounds on the amount of cylindrical gravitational radiation currently emitted by such a string. We then analyse explicitly the gravitational radiation equations and sho...
متن کاملThe Limits on Cosmological Anisotropies and Inhomogeneities from COBE Data
Assuming that the cosmological principle holds, Maartens, Ellis and Stoeger (MES) recently constructed a detailed scheme linking anisotropies in the cosmic background radiation (CMB) with anisotropies and inhomogeneities in the large scale structure of the universe and showed how to place limits on those anisotropies and inhomogeneities simply by using CMB quadrupole and octupole limits. First ...
