The Size Distribution of Void Filaments in a ΛCDM Cosmology
The size distribution of mini-filaments in voids has been derived from the Millennium Run halo catalogs at redshifts z = 0, 0.5, 1 and 2. It is assumed that the primordial tidal field originated the presence of filamentary substructures in voids and that the void filaments have evolved only little, keeping the initial memory of the primordial tidal field. Applying the filament-finding algorithm...
متن کاملVelocity Fields as a Probe of Cosmology
Analyses of peculiar velocity surveys face several challenges, including low signal–to–noise in individual velocity measurements and the presence of small–scale, nonlinear flows. I will present three new analyses that attempt to address these inherent problems. The first is geared towards the better understanding of the estimated errors in the surveys, specifically sampling errors, and the reso...
متن کاملCosmology with void-galaxy correlations.
Galaxy bias, the unknown relationship between the clustering of galaxies and the underlying dark matter density field is a major hurdle for cosmological inference from large-scale structure. While traditional analyses focus on the absolute clustering amplitude of high-density regions mapped out by galaxy surveys, we propose a relative measurement that compares those to the underdense regions, c...
متن کاملInflationary Cosmology as a Probe of Primordial Quantum Mechanics
We show that inflationary cosmology may be used to test the statistical predictions of quantum theory at very short distances and at very early times. Hidden-variables theories, such as the pilot-wave theory of de Broglie and Bohm, allow the existence of vacuum states with non-standard field fluctuations (‘quantum nonequilibrium’). We show that inflationary expansion can transfer microscopic no...
متن کاملSupernovae as a Probe of Particle Physics and Cosmology
It has very recently been demonstrated by Csáki, Kaloper and Terning (CKT) that the faintness of supernovae at high redshift can be accommodated by mixing of a light axion with the photon in the presence of an intergalactic magnetic field, as opposed to the usual explanation of an accelerating universe by a dark energy component. In this paper we analyze further aspects of the CKT mechanism and...
