We develop a non-perturbative method to derive the probability distribution $P(\delta_R)$ of the density contrast within spherical cells in the quasi-linear regime. Indeed, since this corresponds to a rare-event limit a steepest-descent…
The standard definition of particle number fluctuations based on point-like particles neglects the excluded volume effect. This leads to a large and systematic finite-size scaling and an unphysical surface term in the isothermal…
Primordial fluctuations in the cosmic density are usually assumed to take the form of a Gaussian random field that evolves under the action of gravitational instability. In the early stages, while they have low amplitude, the fluctuations…
