We have developed a method for calculating the two-point correlation function of nonlinearly evolved mass and collapsed halos in the Press-Schechter formalism. The nonlinear gravitational interaction is treated as the sum of various…

The present work deals with the spherical collapse of matter overdensity for two reconstructed dark energy models. One of the models is reconstructed from parametrization of effective or total equation of state of energy components in the…

We calculate by means of the Press-Schechter formalism the density profile developed by dark-matter halos during accretion, i.e., the continuous aggregation of small clumps. We find that the shape of the predicted profile is similar to that…

We propose a physical model for nonlinear stochastic biasing of one-point statistics resulting from the formation epoch distribution of dark halos. In contrast to previous works on the basis of extensive numerical simulations, our model…

We revisit the study of the mass functions and the bias of dark matter halos. Focusing on the limit of rare massive halos, we point out that exact analytical results can be obtained for the large-mass tail of the halo mass function. This is…

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…

We examine the linear density contrast at collapse time, $\delta_c$ for large-scale structure in dynamical dark energy cosmologies, including models with early dark energy. Contrary to previous results, we find that as long as dark energy…

In the ellipsoidal collapse model, the critical density for the collapse of a gravitationally bound object is a function of its mass. In the excursion set formalism, this translates into a moving barrier problem such that the mass function…

All models of dynamical dark energy possess fluctuations, which affect the number of galaxy clusters in the Universe. We have studied the impact of dark energy clustering on the number of clusters using a generalization of the spherical…

We have made a detailed comparison of the results of large N-body simulations with the analytical description of the merging histories of dark matter halos presented in Lacey & Cole 1993, which is based on an extension of the Press-…

The intra-cluster medium is prone to turbulent motion that will contribute to the non-thermal heating of the gas, complicating the use of galaxy clusters as cosmological probes. Indirect approaches can estimate the intensity and structure…

The free-streaming length of dark matter depends on fundamental dark matter physics, and determines the abundance and concentration of dark matter halos on sub-galactic scales. Using the image positions and flux ratios from eight…

Gravitational lensing effects arise from the light ray deflection by all of the mass distribution along the line of sight. It is then expected that weak lensing cluster surveys can provide us true mass-selected cluster samples. With…

Integral measures of weak gravitational lensing by dark-matter haloes, like the aperture mass, are sensitive to different physical halo properties dependent on the halo mass density profile. For isothermal profiles, the relation between…

We develop a method of multifractal analysis of N-body cosmological simulations that improves on the customary counts-in-cells method by taking special care of the effects of discreteness and large scale homogeneity. The analysis of the…

Galaxy clusters are luminous tracers of the most massive dark matter haloes in the Universe. To use them as a cosmological probe, a detailed description of the properties of dark matter haloes is required. We characterize how the dynamical…

We place limits on the mean density of the universe and the slope of the linear power spectrum around a megaparsec scale by comparing the universal mass function to the observed luminosity function. Numerical simulations suggest that the…

We investigate some modifications to the Press & Schechter (1974) (PS) prescription resulting from shear and tidal effects. These modifications rely on more realistic treatments of the collapse process than the standard approach based on…

We construct an analytic formalism for the mass function of cold dark matter halos, assuming that there is a break in the hierarchical merging process. According to this {\it broken-hierarchy} scenario, due to the inherent nature of the…

The observed surface densities of dark matter halos are known to follow a simple scaling law, ranging from dwarf galaxies to galaxy clusters, with a weak dependence on their virial mass. Here we point out that this can not only be used to…
