Models for large-scale structure
Abstract
This paper reviews selected aspects of the growth of cosmological structure, covering the following general areas: (1) expected characteristics of linear density perturbations according to various candidate theories for the origin of structure; (2) low-order theory for statistical measures of fluctuations; (3) formation of nonlinear structures and nonlinear evolution of the mass distribution; (4) the relation between the density field and the galaxy distribution; (5) constraints on cosmological models from galaxy clustering and its evolution.
