Abstract

It is shown, that the both angular CMB Doppler spectrum: ClC_l (Planck space telescope - cosmic microwave background [1]) and the 3D galaxy-galaxy power spectrum: P(k)P(k) (Sloan Digital Sky Survey SDSS-II [2]), exhibit a considerable range with an exponential decay: 370<l<2500370 < l < 2500 and 0.05<k<0.27  (h/Mpc)0.05 < k < 0.27~~(h/Mpc), respectively. The rates of the exponential decay are lc300l_c \simeq 300 for Clexp(l/lc)C_l \sim \exp-(l/l_c) and kc0.09  (h/Mpc)k_c \simeq 0.09~~(h/Mpc) for P(k)exp(k/kc)P(k) \sim \exp-(k/k_c). A waviness is observed along a straight line representing the exponential decay in the log-linear scale graphs of these spectra. In both cases the waviness has period (distance between peaks) equal to the same lcl_c and kck_c as for the exponential decay. It means that the waviness is generated by the same, presumably chaotic, mechanism that generates the exponential decay. A more complex, distributed, chaos is observed in the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (the largest component of the SDSS-III containing nearly one million galaxies) [3]. In this case the P(k)P(k) spectrum is a weighted superposition of the exponentials. At assumption that dynamics of the dispersive waves, driving the distributed chaos, is dominated by the effects of a surface tension this weighted superposition of the exponentials is converged to a compact form of a stretched exponential P(k)exp(k/kb)1/2P(k) \sim \exp-(k/k_b)^{1/2}, in good agreement with the data.
