A constant overdensity is created by taking a spherical region of a flat matterdominated universe with radius Rˉ and compressing it into a region with radius R<Rˉ. The evolution is governed by the parametric equations
R=AR0(1−cosθ),t=B(θ−sinθ)
where R0 is a constant and
A=2(Ωm,0−1)Ωm,0,B=2H0(Ωm,0−1)3/2Ωm,0
where H0 is the Hubble constant and Ωm,0 is the fractional overdensity at time t0.
Show that, as t→0+,
R(t)=R0Ωm,01/3a(t)(1−201(B6t)2/3+…)
where the scale factor is given by a(t)=(3H0t/2)2/3.
that, when the spherical overdensity has collapsed to zero radius, the linear perturbation has value δlinear =203(12π)2/3.
