Gravitational Evolution of a Perturbed Lattice and its Fluid Limit

Abstract: We apply a simple linearisation, used standardly in solid state physics, to give an approximation describing the evolution under its self-gravity of an infinite perfect lattice perturbed from its equilibrium. In the limit that the initial perturbations are restricted to wavelengths much larger than the lattice spacing, the evolution corresponds exactly to that derived from an analagous linearisation of the Lagrangian formulation of the dynamics of a pressureless self-gravitating fluid, with the Zeldovich appro… Show more

“…We have noted that the lagging of the evolution behind the asymptotic behavior in this regime can be ascribed to effects of discreteness (i.e. non fluid effects) slowing down the evolution of fluctuations at scales comparable to the inter-particle distance which have been quantified in [40,44]. We have seen also that the form of the correlation function emerges already at the very early times when the first non-linear correlations develop due to two-body correlations which develop under the effect of nearest neighbor interactions.…”

“…A very good approximation to the evolution of a perturbed lattice is provided by a perturbative treatment described in [40,44]. The force acting on particles is written as an expansion in the relative displacement of particles, in a manner completely analogous to a standard technique used in solid state physics to treat perturbations to crystals.…”

“…In this limit, however, we have developed in [7,8] an analytical perturbative approach, which at linear order gives a very good approximation to the dynamical evolution. The treatment involves simply a Taylor expansion of the force between particles in their relative displacements from their initial lattice positions R, and thus breaks down when the latter become equal to the initial separation of the particles.…”

“…In the case of "shuffled lattice" (SL) initial conditions, which we consider in this work, such an approximation is not generically good: when the typical displacement of a particle is small compared to the lattice spacing, the high degree of symmetry gives that the force on a typical particle is the sum of comparable contributions from many particles. In this regime, however, we can describe the evolution very well by a simple perturbative approximation, which has been developed fully in [7,8]. This latter approximation breaks down, roughly, when particles start to approach one another, which is precisely when one expects a NN approximation for the force may become appropriate.…”
