Research Abstract |
1. The properties of denity fluctuations formed after the rapid expansion (inflation) and phase change in the early universe are examined by using the field theory. Generally, the sacle-free adiabatic fluctuation dominates but the isocurvature fluctuation in also excited under a special condition. This conclusion is obtained for general cases. 2. The growth of density perturbations is simulated by an N-body method in consideration of dark matter. It is shown that when a hot dark matter like neutrinos and a dold one like axions coexist, the hierarchical structures of the universe from dwarf galaxies through superclusters and voids of galaxies are naturally reproduced. 3. The interactions between baryons and photons give rise to the distortion of microwave cosmic background radiation. In comparison with observations of MBR at radio and infrared region, the amplitude and scale of density fluctuations are constrained. 4. Summing up the above we have made clear of the evolution of the universe from a very early time to the present epoch. Moreover, we have studied (1) the origin of "Great Attractor", (2) the quantification of the large scale structure of the universe by means of the percolation analysis, (3) the calculation o two-point correlation function of clusters of galaxies and (4) the distortion of the cosmic background radiation due to the explosions in the universe.
