Abstract

We study the large scale structure formation in the Universe using a dark matter model steaming from a scalar–tensor theory of gravitation. We present the equations that govern the evolution of the scale factor of the Universe and also the appropriate Newtonian equations to follow the non-linear evolution of the structures. Results are given in terms of the power spectrum that gives quantitative information on the structure formation. The initial conditions we have used are consistent with the so called concordance \(\Uplambda\)CDM model.
