Processes of the formation and the evolution of the large-scale structure are discussed in the framework of unstable dark matter models. Six numerical models are presented. The projected distribution of simulated galaxies on the sky, wedge diagrams, correlation functions and the mean linear scale of voids are presented. Physical background of the hypothesis of unstable particles and possible observational tests are discussed. The level of the microwave background fluctuations is estimated analytically. Special attention is given to late stage of supercluster evolution and galaxy formation.

Satisfactory Theory

Although some theories, such as that of cold dark matter, are quite successful in explaining certain aspects of the formation of structure, we seem not to approach a satisfactory theory which can easily account for all the observational constraints on all scales. Most difficult to explain are the indicated clustering of clusters and bulk velocities on very large scales, when considered together with the structure on galactic scales and the isotropy of the microwave background. If these observations are correct, the only scenarios that can work are hybrids of certain sorts, which involve somewhat ad hoc choices of parameters; they are not the theories that would have emerged naturally from first principles, and they do not satisfy the criteria of simplicity and elegancy. I will discuss the currently popular scenarios and the apparent difficulties they face.

Massive Neutrinos

The high precision measurements of the cosmic microwave background by the Planck survey yielded tight constraints on cosmological parameters and the statistics of the density fluctuations at the time of recombination. This provides the means for a critical study of structure formation in the Universe by comparing the microwave background results with present epoch measurements of the cosmic large-scale structure. It can reveal subtle effects such as how different forms of Dark Matter may modify structure growth. Currently most interesting is the damping effect of structure growth by massive neutrinos. Different observations of low redshift matter density fluctuations provided evidence for a signature of massive neutrinos. Here we discuss the study of the cosmic large-scale structure with a complete sample of nearby, X-ray luminous clusters from our REFLEX cluster survey. From the observed X-ray luminosity function and its reproduction for different cosmological models, we obtain tight constraints on the cosmological parameters describing the matter density, [Formula: see text], and the density fluctuation amplitude, [Formula: see text]. A comparison of these constraints with the Planck results shows a discrepancy in the framework of a pure [Formula: see text]CDM model, but the results can be reconciled, if we allow for a neutrino mass in the range of 0.17 eV to 0.7 eV. Also some others, but not all of the observations of the nearby large-scale structure provide evidence or trends for signatures of massive neutrinos. With further improvement in the systematics and future survey projects, these indications will develop into a definitive measurement of neutrino masses.
