The role of neutrinos in the evolution of primeval adiabatic perturbations

Description

According to a recent suggestion, neutrinos may significantly hinder the growth of density irregularities in an expanding, radiation-dominated cosmological model. The effect is evaluated by direct numerical integration of the perturbation equations. Contrary to the suggestion, the effect is shown to be quite small. Subject headings: cosmology - neutrinos
