The particle mass used in cosmology N-body simulations is close to $10^{8}M_{\odot}$, which is about $10^{65}$ times larger than the GeV scale expected in particle physics. However, self-gravity interacting particle systems made up of…
We consider the gravitational Euler-Poisson system with a linear equation of state on an expanding cosmological model of the Universe. The expansion of the spatial sections introduces an additional dissipating effect in the Euler equation.…
Dark matter halos destined to fall into a more massive host differ from typical field halos of the same mass even before infall. In cosmological simulations, we find that the progenitor mass functions of these "future subhalos" are…

Combining the observations of spatial abundance and two-point correlation function of QSOs, we can effectively set constraints on models of cosmic structure formation. Both the abundance of gravitationally confined halos and their two-point…
Substructures of dark matter halo, called subhalos, provide important clues to understand the nature of dark matter. We construct a useful model to describe the properties of subhalo mass functions based on the well-known analytical…

Our heuristic understanding of the abundance of dark matter halos centers around the concept of a density threshold, or "barrier", for gravitational collapse. If one adopts the ansatz that regions of the linearly evolved density field…
