A companion paper presents a worked model for evolution through inflation to initial conditions for an isocurvature model for structure formation. It is shown here that the model is consistent with the available observational constraints that can be applied without the help of numerical simulations. The model gives an acceptable fit to the second moments of the angular fluctuations in the therm...

This paper outlines some key features of Chinese cosmology and discusses its significance on contemporary philosophical issues. Contrary to popular approaches to comparative philosophy, I aim to offer a holistic picture of Chinese cosmology by examining its own concerns and its internal dynamics. In particular, I have traced the development of Chinese cosmology from the Shang dynasty to the Son...

The formation of galaxy clusters in hierarchically clustering universes is investigated by means of high resolution N-body simulations. The simulations are performed using a newly developed multi-mass scheme which combines a PM code with a high resolution N-body code. Numerical effects due to time stepping and gravitational softening are investigated as well as the influence of the simulation b...
