We present a new method for simulating cosmologies that contain massive particles with thermal free streaming motion, such as massive neutrinos or warm/hot dark matter. This method combines particle and fluid descriptions of the thermal species to eliminate the shot noise known to plague conventional N-body simulations. We describe this method in detail, along with results for a number of test cases to validate our method, and check its range of applicability. Using this method, we demonstrate that massive neutrinos can produce a significant scale-dependence in the large-scale biasing of deep voids in the matter field. We show that this scale-dependence may be quantitatively understood using an extremely simple spherical expansion model which reproduces the behavior of the void bias for different neutrino parameters.

Why Cosmic Voids Matter: Pristine Evolution
Cosmic voids traced by halos become stable at late times, and the matter around them evolves linearly, supporting their use as clean dark-energy probes.

Cosmic voids evolution in modified gravity via hydrodynamics
Voids in luminal Galileon gravity are always unscreened, and a reality requirement on the fifth force rules out ~82% of the favored parameter space, yielding a redshift-dependent minimum void depth.

Void spin distribution as a powerful probe of $\sigma_{8}$
Void spin distributions, fitted by a generalized Gamma function, are shown in simulations to vary sensitively with sigma8 but not with Omega_cdm h^2, neutrino mass, or dark energy equation of state, offering a new deg...
