We use very large cosmological N--body simulations to obtain accurate predictions for the two-point correlations and power spectra of mass-limited samples of galaxy clusters. We consider two currently popular cold dark matter (CDM) cosmogonies, a critical density model ($tau$CDM) and a flat low density model with a cosmological constant ($Lambda$CDM). Our simulations each use $10^9$ particles to follow the mass distribution within cubes of side $2h^{-1}$Gpc ($tau$CDM) and $3h^{-1}$Gpc ($Lambda$CDM) with a force resolution better than $10^{-4}$ of the cube side. We investigate how the predicted cluster correlations increase for samples of increasing mass and decreasing abundance. Very similar behaviour is found in the two cases. The correlation length increases from $r_0=12$ -- 13$h^{-1}$Mpc for samples with mean separation $d_{rm c}=30h^{-1}$Mpc to $r_0=22$-- 27$h^{-1}$Mpc for samples with $d_{rm c}=100h^{-1}$Mpc. The lower value here corresponds to $tau$CDM and the upper to $Lambda$CDM. The power spectra of these cluster samples are accurately parallel to those of the mass over more than a decade in scale. Both correlation lengths and power spectrum biases can be predicted to better than 10% using the simple model of Sheth, Mo & Tormen (2000). This prediction requires only the linear mass power spectrum and has no adjustable parameters. We compare our predictions with published results for the APM cluster sample. The observed variation of correlation length with richness agrees well with the models, particularly for $Lambda$CDM. The observed power spectrum (for a cluster sample of mean separation $d_{rm c}=31h^{-1}$Mpc) lies significantly above the predictions of both models.

In this paper, we discuss improvements of the Suto et al. (2000) model, in the light of recent theoretical developments (new theoretical mass functions, a more accurate mass-temperature relation and an improved bias model) to predict the clustering p
roperties of galaxy clusters and to obtain constraints on cosmological parameters. We re-derive the two-point correlation function of clusters of galaxies for OCDM and LambdaCDM cosmological models, and we compare these results with the observed spatial correlation function for clusters in RASS1 (ROSAT All-Sky Survey 1), and in XBACs (X-RAY Brighest Abell-Type) samples. The comparison shows that the best agreement is obtained for the LambdaCDM model with Omega=0.3. The values of the correlation length obtained, (r_simeq 28.2 pm 5.2 rm h^{-1}} Mpc for LambdaCDM), are larger than those found in the literature and comparable with the results found in Borgani, Plionis & Kolokotronis (1999).

Recently, peculiar velocity measurements became available for a new sample of galaxy clusters. From an accurately calibrated Tully-Fisher relation for spiral galaxies, we compute the rms cluster peculiar velocity and compare it to the linear theory p
redictions of COBE-normalized low-density and open CDM models (LambdaCDM and OCDM, respectively). Confidence levels for model rejection are estimated using a Monte Carlo procedure to generate for each model a large ensemble of artificial data sets. Following Zaroubi et al. (1997), we express our results in terms of constraints on the (Omega_0,n_pr,h) parameter space. Such constraints turn into sigma_8 Omega_0^{0.6}=0.50^{+0.25}_{-0.14} at the 90% c.l., thus in agreement with results from cluster abundance. We show that our constraints are also consistent with those implied by the shape of the galaxy power spectrum within a rather wide range for the values of the model parameters. Finally, we point out that our findings disagree at about the 3sigma level with respect to those by Zaroubi et al. (1997), based on the Mark III catalogue, which tend to prefer larger Omega_0 values within the CDM class of models.
The baryon fraction of galaxy clusters in numerical simulations is found to be dependant on the cluster formation method. In all cases, the gas is anti-biased compared with the dark matter. However, clusters formed hierarchically are found to be more
depleted in baryons than clusters formed non-hierarchically. There is a depletion of 10 to 15% for hierarchically formed clusters while the depletion is less than 10% for those clusters formed non-hierarchically. This difference is dependent on the mass of the clusters. The mean baryon enrichment profile for the hierarchically formed clusters shows an appreciable baryon enhancement around the virial radius not seen in the clusters formed without substructure. If this phenomenon applies to real clusters, it implies that determinations of the baryon fractions in clusters of galaxies require data extending beyond the virial radius of the clusters in order to achieve an unbiased value.
We consider methods with which to answer the question is any observed galaxy cluster too unusual for Lambda-CDM? After emphasising that many previous attempts to answer this question will overestimate the confidence level at which Lambda-CDM can be r
uled out, we outline a consistent approach to these rare clusters, which allows the question to be answered. We define three statistical measures, each of which are sensitive to changes in cluster populations arising from different modifications to the cosmological model. We also use these properties to define the equivalent mass at redshift zero for a cluster --- the mass of an equally unusual cluster today. This quantity is independent of the observational survey in which the cluster was found, which makes it an ideal proxy for ranking the relative unusualness of clusters detected by different surveys. These methods are then used on a comprehensive sample of observed galaxy clusters and we confirm that all are less than 2-sigma deviations from the Lambda-CDM expectation. Whereas we have only applied our method to galaxy clusters, it is applicable to any isolated, collapsed, halo. As motivation for future surveys, we also calculate where in the mass redshift plane the rarest halo is most likely to be found, giving information as to which objects might be the most fruitful in the search for new physics.
We study the clustering properties of galaxy clusters expected to be observed by various forthcoming surveys both in the X-ray and sub-mm regimes by the thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect. Several different background cosmological models are assumed, i
ncluding the concordance $Lambda$CDM and various cosmologies with dynamical evolution of the dark energy. Particular attention is paid to models with a significant contribution of dark energy at early times which affects the process of structure formation. Past light cone and selection effects in cluster catalogs are carefully modeled by realistic scaling relations between cluster mass and observables and by properly taking into account the selection functions of the different instruments. The results show that early dark-energy models are expected to produce significantly lower values of effective bias and both spatial and angular correlation amplitudes with respect to the standard $Lambda$CDM model. Among the cluster catalogues studied in this work, it turns out that those based on emph{eRosita}, emph{Planck}, and South Pole Telescope observations are the most promising for distinguishing between various dark-energy models.
