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…
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 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.…
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…
We rigorously derive weakly nonlinear relation between cosmic density and velocity fields up to third order in perturbation theory. The density field is described by the mass density contrast, $\de$. The velocity field is described by the…
We show that a regression of unsmoothed peculiar velocity measurements against peculiar velocities predicted from a smoothed galaxy density field leads to a biased estimate of the cosmological density parameter Omega, even when galaxies…
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…
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…
The relationship between cell density and velocity is often assumed to be negative, reflecting crowding-induced suppression of movement. However, observations across systems reveal a more nuanced picture: while some emphasize contact…
Cosmological implications of the observed large-scale peculiar velocities are reviewed, alone or combined with redshift surveys and CMB data. The latest version of the POTENT method for reconstructing the underlying three-dimensional…
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…
I derive a nonlinear local relation between the redshift-space density field and the real-space velocity field. The relation accounts for radial character of redshift distortions, and it is not restricted to the limit of the distant…
The two-point statistics of the cosmic velocity field, measured from galaxy peculiar velocity (PV) surveys, can be used as a dynamical probe to constrain the growth rate of large-scale structures in the universe. Most works use the…
The number density of field galaxies per rotation velocity, referred to as the velocity function, is an intriguing statistical measure probing the smallest scales of structure formation. In this paper we point out that the velocity function…
A promising method for measuring the cosmological parameter combination fsigma_8 is to compare observed peculiar velocities with peculiar velocities predicted from a galaxy density field using perturbation theory. We use N-body simulations…
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…
The motions of galaxies can be used to constrain the cosmological density parameter Omega and the clustering amplitude of matter on large scales. The mean relative velocity of galaxy pairs, estimated from the Mark III survey, indicates that…

We examine the cosmological redshift-space distortion effect on the power spectrum of the objects at high-redshifts, which is an unavoidable observational contamination in general relativistic cosmology. In particular, we consider the…
