We study the dynamics of active-sterile neutrino oscillations in the early universe using full momentum-dependent quantum-kinetic equations. These equations are too complicated to allow for an analytical treatment, and numerical solution is…

We study the growth of density perturbations in a universe with unstable dark matter particles. The mass (m_\nu) range 30 eV < m_\nu < 10 keV with lifetimes ($t_d$) in the range 10^7 sec < t_d < 10^16 sec are considered. We calculate the…
Nonlinear gravitational evolution induces strong nonlinearities in the observed cosmological density fields, leading to positive off-diagonal correlations in the power spectrum covariance. This has caused the information saturation in the…
We consider the effects of a massive, unstable neutrino on the evolution of large--scale structure and anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background. Comparison with large--scale structure data allows us to rule out a wide range of masses…
We show that growing neutrino models, in which the growing neutrino mass stops the dynamical evolution of a dark energy scalar field, lead to a substantial neutrino clustering on the scales of superclusters. Nonlinear neutrino lumps form at…
Many non-minimal dark matter scenarios lead to oscillatory features in the matter power spectrum induced by interactions either within the dark sector or with particles from the standard model. Observing such dark acoustic oscillations…
