On the Origin of Rotation in the Universe

  • Published:
Astrophysics Aims and scope

The evolution of small perturbations produced by gravitational instability in ideal gases is examined in a Newtonian approach. As opposed to the classical theory, here effects associated with fluctuationinduced fluxes of matter are taken into account. It is shown that for sufficiently small wave numbers, both longitudinal and vortex perturbations can grow and this explains the origin of galactic rotation in an initially uniform, isotropic, irrotational universe.
