General relativistic dynamics of irrotational dust: Cosmological implications.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The non–linear dynamics of cosmological perturbations of an irrotational collisionless fluid is analyzed within General Relativity. Relativistic and Newtonian solutions are compared, stressing the different role of boundary conditions in the two theories. Cosmological implications of relativistic effects, already present at second order in perturbation theory, are studied and the dynamical role of the magnetic part of the Weyl tensor is elucidated. PACS numbers: 98.80–04.20. Submitted to Physical Review Letters, October 1993

Equilibrium Configurations in the Dynamics of Irrotational Dust Matter
Irrotational dust solutions of Einstein’s equations are suitable models to describe the general-relativistic aspects of the gravitational instability mechanism for the formation of cosmic structures. In this paper we study their state space by considering the local initial-value problem formulated in the covariant fluid approach. We consider a wide range of models, from homogeneous and isotropi...
متن کاملZel'dovich-type approximation for an inhomogeneous universe in general relativity: Second-order solutions.
The gravitational instability of inhomogeneities in the expanding universe is studied by the relativistic second-order approximation. Using the tetrad formalism we consider irrotational dust universes and get equations very similar to those given in the Lagrangian perturbation theory in Newtonian cosmology. Neglecting the cosmological constant and assuming a flat background model we give the so...

The non–linear dynamics of self–gravitating irrotational dust is analyzed in a general relativistic framework, using synchronous and comoving coordinates. Writing the equations in terms of the metric tensor of the spatial sections orthogonal to the fluid flow allows an unambiguous expansion in inverse powers of the speed of light. The Newtonian and post–Newtonian approximations are derived in L...
متن کاملCovariant Fluid Dynamics: a Long Wave-Length Approximation
In this paper we consider the Long-Wavelength Approximation Scheme (LWAS) in the framework of the covariant fluid approach to general relativistic dynamics, specializing to the particular case of irrotational dust matter. We discuss the dynamics of these models during the approach to any spacelike singularity where a BKL-type evolution is expected, studying the validity of this approximation sc...
متن کاملSecond Order Perturbations of Flat Dust Flrw Universes with a Cosmological Constant
We summarize recent results concerning the evolution of second order perturbations in flat dust irrotational FLRW models with Λ 6= 0. We show that asymptotically these perturbations tend to constants in time, in agreement with the cosmic no-hair conjecture. We solve numerically the second order scalar perturbation equation, and very briefly discuss its all time behaviour and some possible impli...
