Evolution of Cosmic Voids in the Schrodinger-Poisson Formalism by Aoibhinn Gallagher et al. on Monday 21 November
We investigate the evolution of cosmic voids in the Schrodinger Poisson
formalism, finding wave mechanical solutions for the dynamics in a standard
cosmological background with appropriate boundary conditions. We compare the
results in this model to those obtained using the Zel'dovich approximation. We
discuss the advantages of studying voids in general and the advantages of the
Schrodinger Poisson description over other approaches. In particular,
emphasizing the utility of the free particle approximation. We also discuss a
dimensionless number, similar to the Reynolds number, for this system which
allows our void solutions to be scaled to systems of different physical
dimensions.
