Using a non-perturbative method developed in a previous article (paper II) we investigate the tails of the probability distribution $P(\rho_R)$ of the overdensity within spherical cells. We show that our results for the low-density tail of…

Existing theory for multivariate extreme values focuses upon characterizations of the distributional tails when all components of a random vector, standardized to identical margins, grow at the same rate. In this paper, we consider the…

Extending work of E, Khanin, Mazel and Sinai (1997 PRL 78:1904-1907) on the one-dimensional Burgers equation, we show that density pdf's have universal power-law tails with exponent -7/2. This behavior stems from singularities, other than…
