摘要
We use gauge-invariant cosmological perturbation theory to calculate the displacement field that sets the initial conditions for N-body simulations. Using first-and second-order fully relativistic perturbation theory in the synchronous-comoving gauge allows us to go beyond the Newtonian predictions and to calculate relativistic corrections to it. We use an Einstein-de Sitter model, including both growing and decaying modes in our solutions. The impact of our results should be assessed through the implementation of the featured displacement in cosmological N-body simulations.
