Clustering of a perfect fluid does not lead to the generation of vorticity. It is the collisionless nature of dark matter, inducing velocity dispersion and shell crossing, which is at the origin of cosmological vorticity generation. In this…

Effects of General Relativity are usually neglected in the non-linear evolution of structures, where Newtonian $N$-body simulations are traditionally employed. In the post-Friedmann expansion framework, a weak-field relativistic…
