Using third-order perturbation theory, we derive a relation between the mean divergence of the peculiar velocity given density and the density itself. Our calculations assume Gaussian initial conditions and are valid for Gaussian filtering…
We study evolution of various statistical quantities of smoothed cosmic density and velocity fields using N-body simulations. The parameter $C\equiv <V^2\delta>/(<V^2> <\delta^2>)$ characterizes nonlinear coupling of these two fields and…
I present recent progress in theoretical modelling of cosmological density--velocity relations in the weakly nonlinear regime. The relations are local, based on rigorous perturbation theory and include the effects of smoothing of the…
I derive up to second order in Eulerian perturbation theory a new relation between the weakly nonlinear density and velocity fields. In the case of unsmoothed fields, density at a given point turns out to be a purely local function of the…
Cosmological linear perturbation theory predicts that the peculiar velocity $V(x)$ and the matter overdensity $\delta(x)$ at a same point $x$ are statistically independent quantities, as log as the initial density fluctuations are random…
We present a numerical study of the cosmic density vs. velocity divergence relation (DVDR) in the mildly non-linear regime. We approximate the dark matter as a non-relativistic pressureless fluid, and solve its equations of motion on a grid…
We present results of the investigations of the statistical properties of a joint density and velocity divergence probability distribution function (PDF) in the mildly non-linear regime. For that purpose we use both perturbation theory…
We study the cosmic velocity-density relation using the spherical collapse model (SCM) as a proxy to non-linear dynamics. Although the dependence of this relation on cosmological parameters is known to be weak, we retain the density…
We consider weak gravity at accelerations $\alpha<a_H$ when Rindler and cosmological horizon collude at $R_H=c/H$, where $c$ is the velocity of light and $H$ is the Hubble parameter. This is manifest in reduced inertia $m$, below the value…
A first- and second-order relation between cosmic density and peculiar-velocity fields is presented. The calculation is purely Lagrangian and it is derived using the second-order solutions of the Lagrange-Newton system obtained by Buchert &…
We present a numerical study of the relation between the cosmic peculiar velocity field and the gravitational acceleration field. We show that on mildly non-linear scales (4-10 Mpc Gaussian smoothing), the distribution of the Cartesian…
We study the third order solutions of the cosmological density perturbations in the Horndeski's most general scalar-tensor theory under the condition that the Vainshtein mechanism is at work. In this work, we thoroughly investigate the…
We propose a method for measuring the cosmological density parameter $\Omega$ from the statistics of the divergence field, $\theta \equiv H^{-1} \div v$, the divergence of peculiar velocity, expressed in units of the Hubble constant, $H…
Local nonlinear approximations to the growth of cosmic perturbations are developed, resulting in relations, at a given epoch, between the peculiar velocity and gravity fields and their gradients. Only the equation of motion is approximated,…
I derive a second-order local relation between the REDSHIFT-space mass density field and the REAL-space velocity field. This relation can be useful for comparisons between the cosmic density and peculiar velocity fields, for a number of…
In this work we investigate the nonlinear and nonlocal relation between cosmological density and peculiar velocity fields. Our goal is to provide an algorithm for the recon- struction of the nonlinear velocity field from the fully nonlinear…
The cosmological constant, i.e., the energy density stored in the true vacuum state of all existing fields in the Universe, is the simplest and the most natural possibility to describe the current cosmic acceleration. However, despite its…
We present the leading order non-linear density and velocity power spectra in the complete form; previous studies have omitted the vector- and tensor-type perturbations simultaneously excited by the scalar-type perturbation in nonlinear…
We present exact kinematic consistency relations for cosmological structures that do not vanish at equal times and can thus be measured in surveys. These rely on cross-correlations between the density and velocity, or momentum, fields.…
This is a somewhat extended version of the original July 93 report. It is proved that the cosmological density perturbation is associated with a peculiar velocity field. This allows a simple formulation of cosmological perturbation theory,…
