The multifractal spectrum of various three-dimensional representations of Packed Swiss Cheese cosmologies in open, closed, and flat spaces are measured, and it is determined that the curvature of the space does not alter the associated fractal structure. These results are compared to observational data and simulated models of large scale galaxy clustering, to assess the viability of the PSC as a candidate for such structure formation. It is found that the PSC dimension spectra do not match…

Fractality in cosmic topology models with spectral action gravity
We consider cosmological models based on the spectral action formulation of (modified) gravity. We analyze the coupled effects, in this model, of the presence of nontrivial cosmic topology and of…

Bell Polynomials and Brownian Bridge in Spectral Gravity Models on Multifractal Robertson–Walker Cosmologies
We obtain an explicit formula for the full expansion of the spectral action on Robertson–Walker spacetimes, expressed in terms of Bell polynomials, using Brownian bridge integrals and the Feynman–Kac…

Nonlinear effects of general relativity from multiscale structure
When do the nonlinear effects of general relativity matter in astrophysical situations? They are obviously relevant for very compact sources of the gravitational field, such as neutron stars or black…

Slowly decaying waves on spherically symmetric spacetimes and ultracompact neutron stars
We prove that, in a class of spherically symmetric spacetimes exhibiting stable trapping of null geodesics, linear waves cannot (uniformly) decay faster than logarithmically. When these linear waves…
Variations on Birkhoff’s theorem
The relation between the expanding universe and local vacuum solutions, such as that for the Solar System, is crucially mediated by Birkhoff’s theorem. Here we consider how that relation works, and…
Texture analysis using lacunarity and average local variance
TLDR
This work compared four multi-scale texture metrics accessible in the spatial domain (lacunarity, average local variance (ALV), and two novel variations) in terms of ease of interpretation, sensitivity and computational cost, and analyzed a variety of patterns and textures.

TLDR
It is found that the presently available galaxy samples can be usefully employed to trace the scaling properties generated by nonlinear clustering, and the different methods display different advantages and pitfalls.

Fractals and multifractals are used to model hierarchical, inhomogeneous structures in several areas of astrophysics, notably the distribution of matter at various scales in the universe. Current…
Multifractal properties of cosmological N-body simulations
We study the multifractal properties of cosmological N-body simulations. The integrations have been carried out for a cold dark matter spectrum and for two scale-free spectra with spectral indices…

A subsample of the CfA galaxy catalog and two clustering models look different to the eye, yet have comparable two-point correlation functions. It is shown how the technique of measure analysis…
