Cluster expansion (CE) is effective in modeling the stability of metallic alloys, but sometimes cluster expansions fail. Failures are often attributed to atomic relaxation in the DFT-calculated data, but there is no metric for quantifying…
We estimate the variance and the skewness of the cluster distribution in several dark matter (DM) models. The cluster simulations are based on the Zel'dovich approximation, the low computational cost of which allows us to run 50 random…
Theoretical studies of the physical processes guiding the formation and evolution of galaxies and galaxy clusters in the X-ray are mainly based on the results of numerical hydrodynamical N-body simulations, which in turn are often directly…
We investigate proposals of how the form factor approach to compute correlation functions at zero temperature can be extended to finite temperature. For the two-point correlation function we conclude that the suggestion to use the usual…
A few-body cluster is a building block of a many-body system in a gas phase provided the temperature at most is of the order of the binding energy of this cluster. Here we illustrate this statement by considering a system of tubes filled…

We present a spatially-resolved analysis of the temperature and gas density profiles of galaxy clusters at z=0.4-0.7 observed with XMM-Newton. These data are used to derive the total cluster mass within the radius r_500 without assuming…
Influence of surrounding matter on the properties of clusters is considered by an approach combining the methods of statistical and quantum mechanics. A cluster is treated as a bound N-particle system and surrounding matter as thermostat.…
Observations and numerical simulations have shown that the relation between the mass scaled with the critical density of the universe and the X-ray temperature of galaxy clusters is approximately represented by $M_\Delta \propto T_X^{3/2}$…
Theoretical models for structure formation with Gaussian initial fluctuations have been worked out in considerable detail and compared with observations on various scales. It is on nonlinear scales $\lsim 10 \ h^{-1}\ {\rm Mpc}$ that the…
(Abridged) We demonstrate that the tenet of hierarchical structure growth leads directly to a robust, falsifiable prediction for the correlation between stellar fraction (fstar) and total system mass (M500) of galaxy groups and clusters.…
Measurements of the Hubble constant to distant galaxy clusters using the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect are systematically low in comparison to values obtained by other means. These measurements usually assume a spherical isothermal $\beta$ model…
