Onset of Nonlinearity in Cosmology

Be the first to write a review

Overview

Contains 13 papers presented as part of a February 2000 workshop held in Gainesville, Florida. Focusing on the intermediate scales of the universe, the volume deals with the onset of nonlinearity, statistical techniques for identifying its effects, and analytic methods for its study. The contributors present models of the mass function of collapsed objects, an approach to gravitational instability in the large-scale structure of the Universe, dynamical tests of the biasing hypothesis, a formalism to analyze ...

More About This Book

Overview

Contains 13 papers presented as part of a February 2000 workshop held in Gainesville, Florida. Focusing on the intermediate scales of the universe, the volume deals with the onset of nonlinearity, statistical techniques for identifying its effects, and analytic methods for its study. The contributors present models of the mass function of collapsed objects, an approach to gravitational instability in the large-scale structure of the Universe, dynamical tests of the biasing hypothesis, a formalism to analyze peculiar velocity surveys, and a general calculation of the cosmic error on n- point correlation functions. They also discuss non-gaussianity versus nonlinearity of cosmological perturbations, the cosmological mass function in the Zel'dovich approximation, dark matter caustics, nonlinear structure formation inside and outside general relativity, and anomalous distributions in disordered systems. No subject index.
