The power spectrum P(k)\propto k^n with n=-2 is close to the shape of the measured galaxy spectrum on small scales. Unfortunately this spectrum has proven rather difficult to simulate. Further, 2-dimensional simulations have suggested a…
The influence of large-scale density fluctuations on structure formation on small scales is described by the three-point correlation function (bispectrum) in the so-called "squeezed configurations," in which one wavenumber, say $k_3$, is…
