The authors consider nonlinear evolution of the inflationary scale-free spectrum of adiabatic density perturbations in (1) a neutrino-dominated universe (sharp short-wavelength cutoff), and (2) an axion-, gravitino-, or photino-dominated universe (some smallscale power). In (2) galaxy formation begins long before the present (as defined by covariance function), resolving a possible problem in (1). Both models are found to be acceptable upon cluster analysis. The authors believe that a new picutre, based on (2), merits consideration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
