Assigning Quantum-Mechanical Initial Conditions to Cosmological Perturbations
Quantum-mechanical initial conditions for the fluctuations of the geometry can be assigned in excess of a given physical wavelength. The twopoint functions of the scalar and tensor modes of the geometry will then inherit corrections depending on which Hamiltonian is minimized at the initial stage of the evolution. The energy density of the background geometry is compared with the energy-momentu...
متن کاملInitial Conditions for Large Cosmological Simulations
This technical paper describes a software package that was designed to produce initial conditions for large cosmological simulations in the context of the Horizon collaboration. These tools generalize E. Bertschinger’s Grafic1 software to distributed parallel architectures and offer a flexible alternative to the Grafic2 software for “zoom” initial conditions, at the price of large cumulated cpu...
متن کاملMulti-scale initial conditions for cosmological simulations
We discuss a new algorithm to generate multi-scale initial conditions with multiple levels of refinements for cosmological “zoom-in” simulations. The method uses an adaptive convolution of Gaussian white noise with a real space transfer function kernel together with an adaptive multi-grid Poisson solver to generate displacements and velocities following first (1LPT) or second order Lagrangian p...
متن کاملTransients from Initial Conditions in Cosmological Simulations
We study the impact of setting initial conditions in numerical simulations using the standard procedure based on the Zel’dovich approximation (ZA). As it is well known from perturbation theory, ZA initial conditions have incorrect second and higher-order growth and therefore excite long-lived transients in the evolution of the statistical properties of density and velocity fields. We also study...
متن کاملCosmological perturbations
We review the study of inhomogeneous perturbations about a homogeneous and isotropic background cosmology. We adopt a coordinate based approach, but give geometrical interpretations of metric perturbations in terms of the expansion, shear and curvature of constant-time hypersurfaces and the orthogonal timelike vector field. We give the gauge transformation rules for metric and matter variables ...
