Initial Conditions to Cosmological N -body Simulations, or How to Run an Ensemble of Simulations
The conventional method of generating initial conditions for cosmological N -body simulations introduces a significant error in the real-space statistical properties of the particles. More specifically, the finite box size leads to a significant underestimate of σ8, the correlation function, and nonlinear effects. I implement a method of generating initial conditions for N -body simulations tha...
متن کاملGalaxy tracers in cosmological N-body simulations
Galaxies, and the large-scale structure that they trace, grew via gravitational instability from small amplitude Gaussian density fluctuations. This nonlinear process can be studied by means of N -body simulations. The main target of this approach is to evaluate various cosmological theories of structure formation. Unfortunately, the dynamical range of current cosmological simulations is inadeq...
متن کاملDiscreteness effects in cosmological N-body simulations
An estimate of the convergence radius of a simulated CDM halo is obtained under the assumption that the peak phase-space density in the system is set by discreteness effects that operate prior to relaxation. The predicted convergence radii are approximately a factor 2 larger than those estimated for numerical convergence studies. A toy model is used to study the formation of sheets of the cosmi...
متن کاملN-body Code for Cosmological Simulations
We present a new high-resolution N -body algorithm for cosmological simulations. The algorithm employs a traditional particle-mesh technique on a cubic grid and successive multilevel relaxations on the finer meshes, introduced recursively in a fully adaptive manner in the regions where the density exceeds a predefined threshold. The mesh is generated to effectively match an arbitrary geometry o...
متن کاملDoes the planck mass run on the cosmological-horizon scale?
Einstein's theory of general relativity contains a universal value of the Planck mass. However, one may envisage that in alternative theories of gravity the effective value of the Planck mass (or Newton's constant), which quantifies the coupling of matter to metric perturbations, can run on the cosmological-horizon scale. In this Letter, we study the consequences of a glitch in the Planck mass ...
