This review presents a comprehensive overview of galaxy bias, that is, the statistical relation
between the distribution of galaxies and matter. We focus on large scales where cosmic …

The excursion set approach allows one to estimate the abundance and spatial distribution of
virialized dark matter haloes efficiently and accurately. The predictions of this approach …

The abundance of galaxy clusters can constrain both the geometry and growth of structure in
our Universe. However, this probe could be significantly complicated by recent claims of non …

Halo merger trees describe the hierarchical assembly of dark matter haloes, and are the
backbone for modelling galaxy formation and evolution. Merger trees constructed using …

This paper provides a review of the types of dark matter that are thought to be fundamental
components of the Universe, and their role in the origin and evolution of structures, together …

In this work, we extend the model proposed by White (2022) concerning the post-collapse
evolution of density peaks while considering the role of angular momentum. On a time scale …

In this work, we investigate the merger rate of primordial black hole–neutron star (PBH-NS)
binaries in two widely studied modified gravity (MG) models: Hu–Sawicki f (R) gravity and …

N-body simulations have demonstrated a correlation between the properties of haloes and
their environment. In this paper, we assess whether the ellipsoidal collapse model, whose …

In this work, we study the effect of a high-precision semianalytical mass function on the
merger rate of primordial black holes (PBHs) in dark matter halos. For this purpose, we first …

The influence of the shear stress and angular momentum on the nonlinear spherical
collapse model is discussed in the framework of the Einstein–de Sitter and ΛCDM models …
