We develop an approach to parametrize cosmological perturbations beyond linear order for general dark energy and modified gravity models characterized by a single scalar degree of freedom. We derive the full nonlinear action, focusing on…
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…
Reliable analytical modeling of the non-linear power spectrum (PS) of matter perturbations is among the chief pre-requisites for cosmological analyses from the largest sky surveys. This is especially true for the models that extend the…
We use two subsets of 2000 and 1000 Quijote simulations to build two power spectrum emulators, allowing for fast computations of the non-linear matter power spectrum. The first emulator is built in terms of seven cosmological parameters:…
We perform a cosmological analysis in which we allow the primordial power spectrum of scalar perturbations to assume a shape that is different with respect to the usual power-law, arising from the simplest models of cosmological inflation.…
We computed the power spectrum of weak cosmic shear in models with non-Gaussian primordial density fluctuations. Cosmological initial conditions deviating from Gaussianity have recently attracted much attention in the literature, especially…
I examine differences in non-linear structure formation between cosmological models that share a $z=0$ linear power spectrum in both shape and amplitude, but that differ via their growth history. $N$-body simulations of these models display…
We consider a recently proposed model in which dark matter interacts with a thermal background of dark radiation. Dark radiation consists of relativistic degrees of freedom which allow larger values of the expansion rate of the universe…
We investigate an analytic model to compute nonlinear power spectrum of dark matter, galaxies and their cross-correlation. The model is based on Press-Schechter halos, which cluster and have realistic dark matter profiles. The total power…
Several experiments in the near future will test dark energy through its effects on the linear growth of matter perturbations. It is therefore important to find simple and at the same time general parametrizations of the linear growth rate.…
We find statistically significant correlations in the cosmological matter power spectrum over the full range of observable scales. While the correlations between individual modes are weak, the band-averaged power spectrum shows strong…
Any theory invoked to explain cosmic acceleration predicts consistency relations between the expansion history, structure growth, and all related observables. Currently there exist high-quality measurements of the expansion history from…
Nontrivial dark sector physics continues to be an interesting avenue in our quest to the nature of dark matter. In this paper, we study the cosmological signatures of mass-varying dark matter where its mass changes from zero to a nonzero…
We present a formalism to calculate the non-linear matter power spectrum in modified gravity models that explain the late-time acceleration of the Universe without dark energy. Any successful modified gravity models should contain a…
We present a phenomenological interaction with a scale factor power law form which leads to the appearance of two kinds of perturbed terms, a scale factor spatial variation along with perturbed Hubble expansion rate. We study both the…
We propose a new approximated expression for non-linear Dark Matter power spectrum much beyond BAO scales. The proposed expression agrees with the result of N-body simulation with the accuracy better than 2 % up to k=1.0 [h/Mpc] and k=0.7…
We produce mock angular catalogues from simulations with different initial power spectra to test methods that recover measures of clustering in three dimensions, such as the power spectrum, variance and higher order cumulants. We find that…
We compare the model power spectrum, computed based on perturbation theory (PT) with the power spectrum of luminous red galaxies (LRG) measured from the SDSSDR7 catalog, assuming a flat, CDM-dominated cosmology. The model includes the…
In cosmological $N$-body simulations, the representation of dark matter as discrete "macroparticles" suppresses the growth of structure, such that simulations no longer reproduce linear theory on small scales near $k_{\rm Nyquist}$. Marcos…
We perform numerical evolutions of cosmological scenarios using a standard general relativistic code in spherical symmetry. We concentrate on two different situations: initial matter distributions that are homogeneous and isotropic, and…
