Evolution Equation for Non-linear Cosmological Perturbations
We present a novel approach, based entirely on the gravitational potential, for studying the evolution of non-linear cosmological matter perturbations. Starting from the perturbed Einstein equations, we integrate out the non-relativistic degrees of freedom of the cosmic fluid and obtain a single closed equation for the gravitational potential. We then verify the validity of the new equation by ...
متن کاملNon–Linear Evolution of Cosmological Perturbations
In these lecture notes I review the theory of the non–linear evolution of cosmological perturbations in a self–gravitating collisionless medium, with vanishing vorticity. The problem is first analyzed in the context of the Newtonian approximation, where the basic properties of the Zel’dovich, frozen–flow and adhesion algorithms are introduced. An exact general relativistic formalism is then pre...
متن کاملNon-linear Evolution of the Bispectrum of Cosmological Perturbations
The bispectrum B(k1, k2, k3), the three-point function of density fluctuations in Fourier space, is the lowest order statistic that carries information about the spatial coherence of large-scale structures. For Gaussian initial conditions, when the density fluctuation amplitude is small (δ ≪ 1), tree-level (leading order) perturbation theory predicts a characteristic dependence of the bispectru...
متن کاملCosmological Perturbations: Entering the Non-Linear Regime
We consider one-loop corrections (non-linear corrections beyond leading order) to the bispectrum and skewness of cosmological density fluctuations induced by gravitational evolution, focusing on the case of Gaussian initial conditions and scale-free initial power spectra, P (k) ∝ k. As has been established by comparison with numerical simulations, tree-level (leading order) perturbation theory ...
متن کاملEvolution of second-order cosmological perturbations
We present a method for constructing gauge-invariant cosmological perturbations which are gaugeinvariant up to second order. As an example we give the gauge-invariant definition of the second order curvature perturbation on uniform density hypersurfaces. Using only the energy conservation equation we show that this curvature perturbation is conserved at second order on large scales for adiabati...
