Abstract
We address the early universe reconstruction (EUR) problem (as considered by Frisch and coauthors in [26]), and the related Zeldovich approximate model [46]. By substituting the fully nonlinear Monge–Ampere equation for the linear Poisson equation to model gravitation, we introduce a modified mathematical model ("Monge-Ampere gravitation/MAG"), for which the Zeldovich approximation becomes exact. The MAG model enjoys a least action principle in which we can input mass concentration effects in a canonical way, based on the theory of gradient flows with convex potentials and somewhat related to the concept of self-dual Lagrangians developed by Ghoussoub [29]. A fully discrete algorithm is introduced for the EUR problem in one space dimension.
期刊介绍:
Confluentes Mathematici is a mathematical research journal. Since its creation in 2009 by the Institut Camille Jordan UMR 5208 and the Unité de Mathématiques Pures et Appliquées UMR 5669 of the Université de Lyon, it reflects the wish of the mathematical community of Lyon—Saint-Étienne to participate in the new forms of scientific edittion. The journal is electronic only, fully open acces and without author charges. The journal aims to publish high quality mathematical research articles in English, French or German. All domains of Mathematics (pure and applied) and Mathematical Physics will be considered, as well as the History of Mathematics. Confluentes Mathematici also publishes survey articles. Authors are asked to pay particular attention to the expository style of their article, in order to be understood by all the communities concerned.
