We study, for the first time, how shear and angular momentum modify typical parameters of the spherical collapse model, in dark energy dominated universes. In particular, we study the linear density threshold for collapse $delta_mathrm{c}$ and the virial overdensity $Delta_mathrm{V}$, for several dark-energy models and its influence on the cumulative mass function. The equations of the spherical collapse are those obtained in Pace et al. (2010), who used the fully nonlinear differential equation for the evolution of the density contrast derived from Newtonian hydrodynamics, and assumed that dark energy is present only at the background level. With the introduction of the shear and rotation terms, the parameters of the spherical collapse model are now mass-dependant. The results of the paper show, as expected, that the new terms considered in the spherical collapse model oppose the collapse of perturbations on galactic scale giving rise to higher values of the linear overdensity parameter with respect to the non-rotating case. We find a similar effect also for the virial overdensity parameter. For what concerns the mass function, we find that its high mass tail is suppressed, while the low mass tail is slightly affected except in some cases, e.g. the Chaplygin gas case.

We determine the relationship between the turnaround radius, $R_{rm t}$, and mass, $M_{rm t}$, in $Lambda$CDM, and in dark energy scenarios, using an extended spherical collapse model taking into account the effects of shear and vorticity. We find a more general formula than that usually described in literature, showing a dependence of $R_{rm t}$ from shear, and vorticity. The $R_{rm t}-M_{rm t}$ relation differs from that obtained not taking into account shear, and rotation, especially at galactic scales, differing $simeq 30%$ from the result given in literature. This has effects on the constraint of the $w$ parameter of the equation of state. We compare the $R_{rm t}-M_{rm t}$ relationship obtained for the $Lambda$CDM, and different dark energy models to that obtained in the $f(R)$ modified gravity (MG) scenario. The $R_{rm t}-M_{rm t}$ relationship in $Lambda$CDM, and dark energy scenarios are tantamount to the prediction of the $f(R)$ theories. Then, the $R_{rm t}-M_{rm t}$ relationship is not a good probe to test gravity theories beyond Einsteins general relativity.
The aim of this paper is to answer the following two questions: (1) Given cosmological observations of the expansion history and linear perturbations in a range of redshifts and scales as precise as is required, which of the properties of dark energy could actually be reconstructed without imposing any parameterization? (2) Are these observables sufficient to rule out not just a particular dark energy model, but the entire general class of viable models comprising a single scalar field? This paper bears both good and bad news. On one hand, we find that the goal of reconstructing dark energy models is fundamentally limited by the unobservability of the present values of the matter density Omega_m0, the perturbation normalization sigma_8 as well as the present matter power spectrum. On the other, we find that, under certain conditions, cosmological observations can nonetheless rule out the entire class of the most general single scalar-field models, i.e. those based on the Horndeski Lagrangian.
The influence of considering a generalized dark matter (GDM) model, which allows for a non-pressure-less dark matter and a non-vanishing sound speed in the non-linear spherical collapse model is discussed for the Einstein-de Sitter-like (EdSGDM) and $Lambda$GDM models. By assuming that the vacuum component responsible for the accelerated expansion of the Universe is not clustering and therefore behaving similarly to the cosmological constant $Lambda$, we show how the change in the GDM characteristic parameters affects the linear density threshold for collapse of the non-relativistic component ($delta_{rm c}$) and its virial overdensity ($Delta_{rm V}$). We found that the generalized dark matter equation of state parameter $w_{rm gdm}$ is responsible for lower values of the linear overdensity parameter as compared to the standard spherical collapse model and that this effect is much stronger than the one induced by a change in the generalized dark matter sound speed $c^2_{rm s, gdm}$. We also found that the virial overdensity is only slightly affected and mostly sensitive to the generalized dark matter equation of state parameter $w_{rm gdm}$. These effects could be relatively enhanced for lower values of the matter density. Finally, we found that the effects of the additional physics on $delta_{rm c}$ and $Delta_{rm V}$, when translated to non-linear observables such as the halo mass function, induce an overall deviation of about 40% with respect to the standard $Lambda$CDM model at late times for high mass objects. However, within the current linear constraints for $c^2_{rm s, gdm}$ and $w_{rm gdm}$, we found that these changes are the consequence of properly taking into account the correct linear matter power spectrum for the GDM model while the effects coming from modifications in the spherical collapse model remain negligible.
Understanding the influence of dark energy on the formation of structures is currently a major challenge in Cosmology, since it can distinguish otherwise degenerated viable models. In this work we consider the Top-Hat Spherical-Collapse (SC) model with dark energy, which can partially (or totally) cluster, according to a free parameter $gamma$. The {it lack of} energy conservation has to be taken into account accordingly, as we will show. We determine characteristic quantities for the SC model, such as the critical contrast density and radius evolution, with particular emphasis on their dependence on the clustering parameter $gamma$.
We intend to understand cosmological structure formation within the framework of superfluid models of dark matter with finite temperatures. Of particular interest is the evolution of small-scale structures where the pressure and superfluid properties of the dark matter fluid are prominent. We compare the growth of structures in these models with the standard cold dark matter paradigm and non-superfluid dark matter. The equations for superfluid hydrodynamics were computed numerically in an expanding $Lambda$CDM background with spherical symmetry; the effect of various superfluid fractions, temperatures, interactions, and masses on the collapse of structures was taken into consideration. We derived the linear perturbation of the superfluid equations, giving further insights into the dynamics of the superfluid collapse. We found that while a conventional dark matter fluid with self-interactions and finite temperatures experiences a suppression in the growth of structures on smaller scales, as expected due to the presence of pressure terms, a superfluid can collapse much more efficiently than was naively expected due to its ability to suppress the growth of entropy perturbations and thus gradients in the thermal pressure. We also found that the cores of the dark matter halos initially become more superfluid during the collapse, but eventually reach a point where the superfluid fraction falls sharply. The formation of superfluid dark matter halos surrounded by a normal fluid dark matter background is therefore disfavored by the present work.
