Magnetized cosmological perturbations

چکیده
The aim of these lecture notes is to familiarize graduate students and beginning postgraduates with the basic ideas of linear cosmological perturbation theory and of structure formation scenarios. We present both the Newtonian and the general relativistic approaches, derive the key equations and then apply them to a number of characteristic cases. The gauge problem in cosmology and ways to circumvent it are also discussed. We outline the basic framework of the baryonic and the non-baryonic structure formation scenarios and point out their strengths and shortcomings. Fundamental concepts, such as the Jeans length, Silk damping and collisionless dissipation, are highlighted and the underlying mathematics are presented in a simple and straightforward manner.

Gravitational waves and cosmic magnetism; a cosmological approach
We present the formalism for the covariant treatment of gravitational radiation in a magnetized environment and discuss the implications of the field for gravity waves in the cosmological context. Our geometrical approach brings to the fore the tension properties of the magnetic force lines and reveals their intricate interconnection to the spatial geometry of a magnetised spacetime. We show ho...
متن کاملMagnetized String Cosmological Model in Cylindrically Symmetric Inhomogeneous Universe with Variable Cosmological-Term Λ
Cylindrically symmetric inhomogeneous magnetized string cosmological model is investigated with cosmological term Λ varying with time. To get the deterministic solution, it has been assumed that the expansion (θ) in the model is proportional to the eigen value σ 1 of the shear tensor σ j . The value of cosmological constant for the model is found to be small and positive which is supported by t...
متن کاملMagnetized initial conditions for CMB anisotropies
This paper introduces a systematic treatment of the linear theory of scalar gravitational perturbations in the presence of a fully inhomogeneous magnetic field. The analysis is conducted both in the synchronous and in the conformally Newtonian gauges. The cosmological plasma is assumed to be composed of cold dark mattter, baryons, photons, neutrinos. The problem of super-horizon initial conditi...
متن کاملAmplitude of Superhorizon Cosmological Perturbations
We study the influence of reheating on super-horizon density perturbations and gravitational waves. We correct wrong claims 1 about the joining of perturbations at cosmological transitions and about the quantization of cosmological perturbations.
متن کاملBIANCHI TYPE I ANISOTROPIC MAGNETIZED COSMOLOGICAL MODELS WITH VARYING Λ ANIRUDH PRADHAN and OM PRAKASH PANDEY
Bianchi type I magnetized cosmological models in the presence of a bulk viscous fluid are investigated. The source of the magnetic field is due to an electric current produced along x-axis. The distribution consists of an electrically neutral viscous fluid with an infinite electrical conductivity. The coefficient of bulk viscosity is assumed to be a power function of mass density. The cosmologi...
