Structure formation in the Quasi-Steady state cosmology: A toy model

Abstract

The problem of formation of large scale structure is discussed within the framework of the Quasi-Steady State Cosmology (QSSC) . The primary process of creation of matter and the resulting dynamics of ejection of matter from regions of strong gravitational fields plays a key role. To understand its working, a toy model is used, in which from a set of randomly distributed creation centres a new generation of centres is created as part of an iterative algorithm. It is shown that the system develops clusters and voids along with filamentary structure, within a few iterations. The two point correlation function and density distribution function for these simulations are shown to reproduce the observed clustering of the large scale structure in the real universe.
