The amplitude of cosmological density fluctuations, sigma_8, has been studied and estimated by analysing many cosmological observations. The values of the estimates vary considerably between the various probes. However, different estimators probe the value of sigma_8 in different cosmological scales and do not take into account the nonlinear evolution of the parameter at late times. We show that estimates of the amplitude of cosmological density fluctuations derived from cosmic flows are systematically higher than those inferred at early epochs from the CMB because of nonlinear evolution at later times. We discuss the past and future evolution of linear and nonlinear perturbations, derive corrections to the value of sigma_8 and compare amplitudes after accounting for these differences.

We describe a tomographic dissection of the Planck CMB lensing data, cross-correlating this map with galaxies in different ranges of photometric redshift. We use the nearly all-sky 2MPZ and WISExSCOS catalogues for z<0.35, extending to z<0.6 using SD
SS. We describe checks for consistency between the different datasets, and perform a test for possible leakage of thermal Sunyaev--Zeldovich signal into our cross-correlation measurements. The amplitude of the cross-correlation allows us to estimate the evolution of density fluctuations as a function of redshift, thus providing a test of theories of modified gravity. Assuming the common parametrisation for the logarithmic growth rate, f_g=Omega_m(z)^gamma, we infer gamma=0.77 +/- 0.18 when Omega_m is fixed using external data. Thus CMB lensing tomography is currently consistent with Einstein gravity, where gamma=0.55 is expected. We discuss how such constraints may be expected to improve with future data.
The one-point probability distribution function (PDF) of the matter density field in the universe is a fundamental property that plays an essential role in cosmology for estimates such as gravitational weak lensing, non-linear clustering, massive pro
duction of mock galaxy catalogs, and testing predictions of cosmological models. Here we make a comprehensive analysis of the dark matter PDF using a suite of 7000 N-body simulations that covers a wide range of numerical and cosmological parameters. We find that the PDF has a simple shape: it declines with density as a power-law P~rho**(-2), which is exponentially suppressed on both small and large densities. The proposed double-exponential approximation provides an accurate fit to all our N-body results for small filtering scales R< 5Mpc/h with rms density fluctuations sigma>1. In combination with the spherical infall model that works well for small fluctuations sigma<1, the PDF is now approximated with just few percent errors over the range of twelve orders of magnitude -- a remarkable example of precision cosmology. We find that at 5-10% level the PDF explicitly depends on redshift (at fixed sigma) and on cosmological density parameter Omega_m. We test different existing analytical approximations and find that the often used log-normal approximation is always 3-5 times less accurate than either the double-exponential approximation or the spherical infall model.
We perform a detailed dynamical analysis of various cosmological scenarios in extended (varying-mass) nonlinear massive gravity. Due to the enhanced freedom in choosing the involved free functions, this cosmological paradigm allows for a huge variety
of solutions that can attract the universe at late times, comparing to scalar-field cosmology or usual nonlinear massive gravity. Amongst others, it accepts quintessence, phantom, or cosmological-constant-like late-time solutions, which moreover can alleviate the coincidence problem. These features seem to be general and non-sensitive to the imposed ansantzes and model parameters, and thus extended nonlinear massive gravity can be a good candidate for the description of nature.
Primordial black holes (PBHs) are those which may have formed in the early Universe and affected the subsequent evolution of the Universe through their Hawking radiation and gravitational field. To constrain the early Universe from the observational
constraint on the abundance of PBHs, it is essential to determine the formation threshold for primordial cosmological fluctuations, which are naturally described by cosmological long-wavelength solutions. I will briefly review our recent analytical and numerical results on the PBH formation.
In some instances, e.g. near phase transitions, thermodynamic fluctuations become macroscopically relevant, and relative amplitudes grow far above the standard $N^{-1/2}$ scale, with $N$ the number of particles. Such large fluctuations are characteri
sed by a scale invariant Gaussian power spectrum. In this letter I show that the abrupt drop in the baryonic sound speed across recombination leads to conditions resulting in such large thermodynamic Gaussian fluctuations in the ionisation fraction of the baryons. Under pressure equilibrium, this will result in a mechanism for generating scale invariant density and temperature fluctuations in the baryonic component, inherent to the thermodynamics of the baryons themselves. Within a $Lambda$CDM framework, this extra random fluctuation source leads to a decoupling of the inflationary relic small wave number spectrum and the amplitude of the Gaussian random fluctuations at frequencies higher than the first acoustic peak, an effect which could explain the mismatch between cosmic microwave background (CMB) inferences and local kinetic determinations of the Hubble constant. Within modified gravity theories in absence of dark matter, the mechanism proposed serves as a source for random Gaussian density fluctuations in the acoustic peak region.
