Scientific paper

A new theoretical approach to the formation of large-scale structure in the universe is presented that applies the Burgers equation to mimic the gravitational sticking of matter at the nonlinear stage of gravitational instability. In this theory, the nonlinear evolution, including both the formation and clustering of clumps of matter separated from the Hubble expansion, is directly determined by the geometrical structure of the initial random field of linear Newtonian gravitational potential fluctuations. The latter may be Gaussian or non-Gaussian, depending on the model.
