Seminar
Simulating dark matter dynamics in cosmology

Dr. Raúl Angulo

Numerical simulations have played a crucial role in the development of modern

cosmology and in the establishment of LCDM. In this talk, I will review the main

results and the fundamental assumptions behind those dark matter simulations.

I will focus on the internal structure of halos and report on recent results on the

formation and evolution of the very first halos to form in cold dark matter cosmologies.

Then, I will discuss on recent attempts to model and study dark matter in the

continuum limit. I will show how such methods help to overcome known problems

of N-body simulations, and also how it is possible to get new insights into dark

matter dynamics.
