Inhomogeneities in Newtonian Cosmology and its Backreaction to the Evolution of the Universe

Abstract

We study an effect of inhomogeneity of density distribution of the Universe. We propose a new Lagrangian perturbation theory with a backreaction effect by inhomogeneity. The inhomogeneity affects the expansion rate in a local domain and its own growing rate. We numerically analyze a one-dimensional plane-symmetric model, and calculate the probability distribution functions (PDFs) of several observed variables to discuss those statistical properties. We find that the PDF of pairwise peculiar velocity shows an effective difference from the conventional Lagrangian approach, i.e. even in one-dimensional plane symmetric case, the PDF approaches an exponential form in a small relative-velocity region, which agree with the N-body simulation.
