Evolving ultralight scalars into non-linearity with Lagrangian perturbation theory

چکیده
Many models of high energy physics suggest that the cosmological dark sector consists not just one, but a spectrum ultralight scalar particles with logarithmically distributed masses. To study potential signatures low concentrations axion (also known as fuzzy) matter, we modify Lagrangian perturbation theory (LPT) by distinguishing between trajectories different matter species. We further adapt LPT to include effects quantum pressure, which is necessary generate correct initial conditions for simulations. Based on LPT, our modified scheme extremely efficient large scales and it can be extended an arbitrary number particle species at very little computational cost. This allows computation self-consistent in mixed models. Additionally, find shell-crossing delayed deformation tensor extracted from used identify range redshifts Madelung formalism fuzzy reliable approximation.

Ultralight Scalars and Spiral Galaxies
We study some possible astrophysical implications of a very weakly coupled ultralight dilaton-type scalar field. Such a field may develop an (approximately stable) network of domain walls. The domain wall thickness is assumed to be comparable with the thickness of the luminous part of the spiral galaxies. The walls provide trapping for galactic matter. This is used to motivate the very existenc...
متن کاملDensity field in extended Lagrangian perturbation theory
We analyze the performance of a perturbation theory for nonlinear cosmological dynamics, based on the Lagrangian description of hydrodynamics. In our previous paper, we solved the hydrodynamic equations for a self-gravitating fluid with pressure, given by a polytropic equation of state, using a perturbation method. Then we obtained the first-order solutions in generic background universes and t...
متن کاملLagrangian perturbation theory for rotating magnetic stars
Motivated by the possibility of radiation driven instabilities in rotating magnetic stars, we study the stability properties of general linear perturbations of a stationary and axisymmetric, infinitely conducting perfect fluid configuration threaded by a magnetic field and surrounded by vacuum. We develop a Lagrangian perturbation framework which enables us to formulate a strict stability crite...
متن کاملExtending Lagrangian perturbation theory to a fluid with velocity dispersion
We formulate a perturbative approximation to gravitational instability, based on Lagrangian hydrodynamics in Newtonian cosmology. We take account of ‘pressure’ effect of fluid, which is kinematically caused by velocity dispersion, to aim hydrodynamical description beyond shell crossing. Master equations in the Lagrangian description are derived and solved perturbatively up to second order. Then...
متن کاملThird-order perturbative solutions in Lagrangian perturbation theory with pressure
The structure formation scenario based on gravitational instability has been studied for a long time. The Lagrangian perturbative method for the cosmological fluid describes the nonlinear evolution of density fluctuation rather well. Zel’dovich [1] proposed a linear Lagrangian approximation for dust fluid. This approximation is called the Zel’dovich approximation (ZA) [1–6]. ZA describes the ev...
