The model of the local Universe in the framework of the second-order perturbation theory
Szymon Sikora, Jan J. Ostrowski
Recently, we constructed the specific solution to the second-order cosmological perturbation theory, around any Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) background filled with du…
Does spatial flatness forbid the turnaround epoch of collapsing structures?
Boudewijn F. Roukema, Jan J. Ostrowski
Cosmological observational analysis frequently assumes that the Universe is spatially flat. We aim to non-perturbatively check the conditions under which a flat or nearly flat expa…
The environment-dependence of the growth of the most massive objects in the Universe
Krzysztof Bolejko, Jan J. Ostrowski
This paper investigates the growth of the most massive cosmological objects. We utilize the Simsilun simulation, which is based on the approximation of the silent universe. In the…
Order-unity argument for structure-generated "extra" expansion
Boudewijn F. Roukema, Jan J. Ostrowski, Thomas Buchert +1
Self-consistent treatment of cosmological structure formation and expansion within the context of classical general relativity may lead to "extra" expansion above that expected in…
Mass function of galaxy clusters in relativistic inhomogeneous cosmology
Jan J. Ostrowski, Thomas Buchert, Boudewijn F. Roukema
The current cosmological model (CDM) with the underlying FLRW metric relies on the assumption of local isotropy, hence homogeneity of the Universe. Difficulties arise when one a…
The background Friedmannian Hubble constant in relativistic inhomogeneous cosmology and the age of the Universe
Boudewijn F. Roukema, Pierre Mourier, Thomas Buchert +1
In relativistic inhomogeneous cosmology, structure formation couples to average cosmological expansion. A conservative approach to modelling this assumes an Einstein--de Sitter mod…
On the relativistic mass function and averaging in cosmology
Jan J. Ostrowski, Thomas Buchert, Boudewijn F. Roukema
The general relativistic description of cosmological structure formation is an important challenge from both the theoretical and the numerical point of views. In this paper we pres…
Is the baryon acoustic oscillation peak a cosmological standard ruler?
Boudewijn F. Roukema, Thomas Buchert, Hirokazu Fujii +1
In the standard model of cosmology, the Universe is static in comoving coordinates; expansion occurs homogeneously and is represented by a global scale factor. The baryon acoustic…
Evidence for an environment-dependent shift in the baryon acoustic oscillation peak
Boudewijn F. Roukema, Thomas Buchert, Jan J. Ostrowski +1
The Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) metric assumes comoving spatial rigidity of metrical properties. The curvature term in comoving coordinates is environment-independen…
Virialization-induced curvature versus dark energy
Jan J. Ostrowski, Boudewijn F. Roukema, Thomas Buchert
The concordance model is successful in explaining numerous observable phenomena at the price of introducing an exotic source of unknown origin: dark energy. Dark energy dominance o…
Virialisation-induced curvature as a physical explanation for dark energy
Boudewijn F. Roukema, Jan J. Ostrowski, Thomas Buchert
The geometry of the dark energy and cold dark matter dominated cosmological model (LambdaCDM) is commonly assumed to be given by a Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) metric…
Topological implications of inhomogeneity
Boudewijn F. Roukema, Vincent Blanloeil, Jan J. Ostrowski
The approximate homogeneity of spatial sections of the Universe is well supported observationally, but the inhomogeneity of the spatial sections is even better supported. Here, we…
A relativistic model of the topological acceleration effect
Jan J. Ostrowski, Boudewijn F. Roukema, Zbigniew P. Bulinski
It has previously been shown heuristically that the topology of the Universe affects gravity, in the sense that a test particle near a massive object in a multiply connected univer…
