Third-order cosmological perturbations of zero-pressure multi-component fluids: Pure general relativistic nonlinear effects

Abstract

Present expansion stage of the universe is believed to be mainly governed by the cosmological constant, collisionless dark matter and baryonic matter. The latter two components are often modeled as zero-pressure fluids. In our previous work we have shown that to the second-order cosmological perturbations, the relativistic equations of the zero-pressure, irrotational, multi-component fluids in a spatially near flat background effectively coincide with the Newtonian equations. As the Newtonian equations only have quadratic order nonlinearity, it is practically interesting to derive the potential third-order perturbation terms in general relativistic treatment which correspond to pure general relativistic corrections. Here, we present pure general relativistic correction terms appearing in the third-order perturbations of the multi-component zero-pressure fluids. We show that, as in a single component situation, the third-order correction terms are quite small (~ 5 x10^{-5} smaller compared with the relativistic/Newtonian second-order terms) due to the weak level anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background radiation. Still, there do exist pure general relativistic correction terms in third-order perturbations which could potentially become important in future development of precision cosmology. We include the cosmological constant in all our analyses.
