Dark Matter Halo Mergers and Quasars Abstract The formation and evolution of galaxies and the supermassive black holes they harbor at their nuclei depends strongly on the merger history of their surrounding dark matter haloes. First we developed a semi-analytic algorithm that describes the merger history tree of a halo. The following tests were performed: the conditional mass function, the time and mass distributions at formation, and the time distribution of the last major merger. We provide a model for the creation rate of dark matter haloes, informed by both coagulation theory and the modified excursion set approach with moving barriers. A comparison with N-body simulations shows that our square-root barrier merger rate is significantly better than the standard extended Press-Schechter rate used in the literature. The last chapter is dedicated to a simple model of quasar activation by major mergers of dark matter haloes. The model consists of two main ingredients: the halo merger rate describing triggering, and a quasar light curve, which tracks the evolution of individual quasars.

The ob- servational analysis of large-scale structure guided by large volume numerical simulations are beginning to offer us complementary information and crosschecks of cosmological parameters estimated from the anisotropies in Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation. Under- standing structure formation and evolution and even galaxy formation history is also being aided by observations of different redshift snapshots of the Universe, using various tracers of large-scale structure.

  • COVARIANT QUANTIZATION of SUPERSYMMETRIC STRING THEORIES: the Spinor Field of the Ramond-Neveu-Schwarz Model*
    Nuclear Physics B278 (1986) 577-600 North-Holland, Amsterdam COVARIANT QUANTIZATION OF SUPERSYMMETRIC STRING THEORIES: The spinor field of the Ramond-Neveu-Schwarz model* Joanne COHN x, Daniel FRIEDAN, Zongan QIU 2, and Stephen SHENKER Enrico Fermi and James Franck Institutes and Department of Physics, University of Chicago, Chicago, IL 60637, USA Received 17 April 1986 A brief review of superconformal field theory and superstrings is presented. The spacetime spinor contribution to the fermion vertex operator is constructed and the four-fermion amplitude is calculated using the differential equation method in the SO(1,9) current algebra. The spinor field is also described as a vertex operator in the bosonization of the Ramond-Neveu-Schwarz fermions, and the two-cocycle for the ferrnion vertex is given. The original formulation of superstring theory was the manifestly covariant Ramond-Neveu-Schwarz (RNS) model [1-3]. The RNS theory was never developed far enough to describe general fermionic amplitudes and therefore the spacetime supersymmetry of the model remained obscure. Only part of the fermion emission vertex was constructed [4], the spacetime spinor field of the RNS model, which we would now call the matter contribution to the fermion vertex. Spacetime supersym- metry was proved in light-cone gauge, where the spacetime spinor field becomes the complete fermion vertex [5]. This paper is part of a program [6, 7] to give a manifestly Lorentz covariant formulation of superstring theory by completing the RNS model. The motivations for embarking on this project were: (i) to develop effective methods for calculating string tree amplitudes and loop corrections in flat spacetime; (ii) to develop methods which can be used to describe strings in curved backgrounds; and (iii) to take a step towards understanding the general covariance of string theory.
