We investigate the vorticity of the IGM velocity field on large scales with cosmological hydrodynamic simulation of the concordance model of LCDM. We show that the vorticity field is significantly increasing with time as it can effectively…
We apply kinetic field theory to non-linear cosmic structure formation. Kinetic field theory decomposes the cosmic density field into particles and follows their trajectories through phase space. We assume that initial particle momenta are…

Cosmic voids as typical under-density regions in the large scale Universe are known for their hyperbolic properties as an ability to deviate the photon beams. The under-density then is acting as the negative curvature in the hyperbolic…
The velocity profile of galaxies around voids is a key ingredient for redshift space distortion (RSD) measurements made using the void-galaxy correlation function. In this paper we use simulations to test whether the velocity profile of the…
