The gravitational clustering of collisionless particles in an expanding universe is modelled using some simple physical ideas. I show that it is possible to understand the nonlinear clustering in terms of three well defined regimes: (1)…

It is known that radial collapse around density peaks can explain the key features of evolution of correlation function in gravitational clustering in three dimensions. The same model also makes specific predictions for two dimensions. In…
We develop a systematic method to obtain the solution of the collisionless Boltzmann equation which describes the growth of large-scale structures as a perturbative series over the initial density perturbations. We give an explicit…
A new approach to study the nonlinear phase of gravitational clustering in an expanding universe is explored. This approach is based on an integro-differential equation, for the evolution of the gravitational potential in the Fourier space,…
We study gravitational clustering of mass points in three dimensions with random initial positions and periodic boundary conditions (no expansion) by numerical simulations. Correlation properties are well defined in the system and a sort of…
This pedagogical review addresses several issues related to statistical description of gravitating systems in both static and expanding backgrounds, focusing on the latter. After briefly reviewing the results for the static background, I…
We consider the problem of gravitational clustering in a D-dimensional expanding Universe and derive scaling relations connecting the exact mean two-point correlation function with the linear mean correlation function, in the quasi-linear…
We discuss the late time evolution of the gravitational clustering in an expanding universe, based on the nonlinear scaling relations (NSR) which connect the nonlinear and linear two point correlation functions. The existence of critical…
We investigate non-linear scaling relations for two-dimensional gravitational collapse in an expanding background using a 2D TreePM code and study the strongly non-linear regime ($\bar\xi \leq 200$) for power law models. Evolution of these…

We present an analysis of different sets of gravitational N-body simulations, all describing the dynamics of discrete particles with a small initial velocity dispersion. They encompass very different initial particle configurations,…
We investigate the formation, gravitational clustering and interactions of solitons in a self-interacting, non-relativistic scalar field in an expanding universe. Rapid formation of large number of solitons is driven by attractive…
The evolution of inhomogeneities in a spherical collapse model is studied by expanding the Einstein equation in powers of inverse radial parameter. In the linear regime, the density contrast is obtained for flat, closed and open universes.…
Several issues related to the gravitational clustering of collisionless dark matter in an expanding universe is discussed. The discussion is pedagogical but the emphasis is on semianalytic methods and open questions - rather than on well…
We present a new formalism which allows to derive the general Lagrangian dynamical equations for the motion of gravitating particles in a non--flat Friedmann universe with arbitrary density parameter $\Omega$ and no cosmological constant.…
In two recent articles a detailed study has been presented of the out of equilibrium dynamics of an infinite system of self-gravitating points initially located on a randomly perturbed lattice. In this article we extend the treatment of the…
The large-scale structure in the Universe is believed to arise out of small random density perturbations generated in the very early Universe, that are amplified by gravity. Large and usually intricate N-body simulations are typically…
We study, using numerical simulations, the dynamical evolution of self-gravitating point particles in static euclidean space, starting from a simple class of infinite ``shuffled lattice'' initial conditions. These are obtained by applying…
Non-linear electrodynamics coupled to general relativity is investigated. In general relativity, it is observed that the expansion of the universe is accelerating if the source of the gravitational field is the non-linear electromagnetic…
