We present the results of a large library of cosmological N-body simulations, using power-law initial spectra. The nonlinear evolution of the matter power spectra is compared with the predictions of existing analytic scaling formulae based on the work of Hamilton et al. The scaling approach has assumed that highly nonlinear structures obey `stable clustering' and are frozen in proper coordinates. Our results show that, when transformed under the self-similarity scaling, the scale-free spectra define a nonlinear locus that is clearly shallower than would be required under stable clustering. Furthermore, the small-scale nonlinear power increases as both the power-spectrum index n and the density parameter Omega decrease, and this evolution is not well accounted for by the previous scaling formulae. This breakdown of stable clustering can be understood as resulting from the modification of dark-matter haloes by continuing mergers. These effects are naturally included in the analytic `halo model' for nonlinear structure; using this approach we are able to fit both our scale-free results and also our previous CDM data. This approach is more accurate than the commonly-used Peacock--Dodds formula and should be applicable to more general power spectra. Code to evaluate nonlinear power spectra using this method is available from http://as1.chem.nottingham.ac.uk/~res/software.html Following publication, we will make the power-law simulation data available through the Virgo website http://www.mpa-garching.mpg.de/Virgo

    astro-ph.CO 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The CMB lensing trispectrum is sensitive to parity violation in large-scale structure, and a parity-odd toy model predicts a detectable signal in idealized noiseless forecasts.

    astro-ph.CO 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A null test of BNT-transformed cosmic shear cross-spectra can constrain Omega_m and w0 geometrically, but requires photometric redshifts known to about 10^-3 and is subdominant to standard 3x2pt analysis.

    Using an analytic halo model, the authors forecast that 21-cm forest observations with SKA-LOW could constrain the total neutrino mass to about 0.1 eV, potentially distinguishing neutrino mass hierarchies.

    Combining SPT cluster counts with DES galaxy clustering and weak lensing yields Ωm=0.300±0.017, σ8=0.797±0.026, and S8=0.796±0.013, 1.6σ below Planck, with a ∑mν<0.25 eV limit when combined with Planck.

    Bayesian and frequentist analyses show the equal-mass approximation for neutrino masses remains adequate for Planck+DESI data, provided the oscillation-motivated lower bounds on the neutrino mass sum are imposed.
