Abstract

In this thesis, I have focused on two major questions of Cosmology and Astrophysics: The origin of cosmological magnetic fields (part I) and the advent of gravitational instabilities (Jeans, Rayleigh-Taylor and convection) in the Cosmic Web (part II).

Notes

  1. 1.

    It may seem paradoxical that adding a constraint increases the number of solutions. A nice analogy to convince ourselves that this is indeed not necessarily the case is the following. Instead of one ball on a hill as in Fig. 7.4, consider two balls on opposite sides of the hill. As such, the balls roll down the hill, so that this is clearly not a stable equilibrium. However, if the two balls are attached together by a wire, i.e. we add a constraint, then an infinite number of stable solutions now exist.

  2. 2.

    See also details and discussion in Goedbloed (2011).

  3. 3.

    I here mean the genuine WKB approach for finding approximate solutions to a differential equation for which the highest order term contains a small parameter, not the WKB-type dispersion relations discuted in the previous chapter.
