We present an algorithm for generating merger histories of dark matter haloes. The algorithm is based on the excursion set approach with moving barriers whose shape is motivated by the ellipsoidal collapse model of halo formation. In…
Under the commonly used spherical collapse model, we study how dark energy affects the growth of large scale structures of the Universe in the context of agegraphic dark energy models. The dynamics of the spherical collapse of dark matter…
We present a model that builds ``dark matter"-like halo density profiles from free-falling zero-point vacuum fluctuations. It does not require a modification of Newton's laws, nor the existence of as-yet-undiscovered dark matter particles.…
The interacting dark energy (IDE) model, which considers the interaction between dark energy and dark matter, provides a natural mechanism to alleviate the coincidence problem and can also relieve the observational tensions under the…
The first objects to arise in a cold dark matter universe present a daunting challenge for models of structure formation. In the ultra small-scale limit, CDM structures form nearly simultaneously across a wide range of scales. Hierarchical…
Analytic models based on spherical and ellipsoidal gravitational collapse have been used to derive the mass functions of dark matter halos and their progenitors (the conditional mass function). The ellipsoidal model generally provides a…
Some beyond $\Lambda$CDM cosmological models have dark-sector energy densities that suffer phase transitions. Fluctuations entering the horizon during such a transition can receive enhancements that ultimately show up as a distinctive bump…

We present a model for the power spectrum of the density field of galaxies weighted by their star formation rate. This weighting is relevant in line-intensity mapping (LIM) when the observed line luminosity is strongly correlated with star…
We use a suite of N-body simulations that incorporate massive neutrinos as an extra-set of particles to investigate their effect on the halo mass function. We show that for cosmologies with massive neutrinos the mass function of dark matter…
The excursion set approach allows one to estimate the abundance and spatial distribution of virialized dark matter haloes efficiently and accurately. The predictions of this approach depend on how the nonlinear processes of collapse and…
Using the halo model, we investigate the cosmological Fisher information in the non-linear dark-matter power spectrum about the initial amplitude of linear power. We find that there is little information on `translinear' scales (where the…
A realistic description of halo nuclei, characterized by low-lying breakup thresholds, requires a proper treatment of continuum effects. We have developed an ab initio approach, the no-core shell model with continuum (NCSMC), capable of…
