Hot Dark Matter
• E.g., neutrinos with rest mass on order of eV.
• Highly relativistic when they decouple (around
transition from radiation to matter domination)
• Does NOT create large perturbations in the
background radiation (good!).
• Accounts for “cellular structure” seen.
• Predicts the largest scale structures grow first
• Fails to predict correlation functions on the
right scales and galaxies form very late (bad!).
