Cosmological Density Distribution Function from the Ellipsoidal Collapse Model in Real Space

Abstract

We calculate the one-point probability distribution function (PDF) for cosmic density in non-linear regime of the gravitational evolution. Under the local approximation that the evolution of cosmic fluid fields can be characterized by the Lagrangian local dynamics with finite degrees of freedom, the analytic expressions of PDF are derived taking account of the smoothing effect. The validity and the usefulness of the local approximation are then discussed comparing those results with N-body simulations in a Gaussian initial condition. Adopting the ellipsoidal collapse model (ECM) and the spherical collapse model (SCM) as Lagrangian local dynamics, we found that the PDFs from the local approximation excellently match the simulation results in the case of the cold dark matter initial spectrum. As for the scale-free initial spectra given by $P(k)\propto k^n$, N-body result suffers from spurious numerical effects, which prevent us to give a detailed comparison. Nevertheless, at the quality of N-body data, the model predictions based on the ECM and the SCM quantitatively agree with N-body results in cases with spectral index n<0. For the index n>=0, choice of the Lagrangian local dynamics becomes crucial for an accurate prediction and a more delicate modeling is required, however, we find that the model prediction based on the ECM provides a better approximation to the N-body results of cumulants and PDFs.
