Dn. Schramm et al., ON THE POSSIBILITY OF COHERENTLY STIMULATED RECOMBINATION AND COSMOLOGICAL STRUCTURE GENERATION - COSMOLOGICAL CONSEQUENCES, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United Statesof America, 92(13), 1995, pp. 6171-6174
Given a specific physical mechanism for instabilities during cosmologi
cal recombination discussed in an earlier paper, we examine the nonlin
ear growth of density structures to form fractal-like structural patte
rns out to the horizon scale at that epoch (similar to 200 Mpc today),
A model for such fractal patterns is presented. Such effects could ex
plain observed large-scale structure patterns and the formation of obj
ects at high z, while keeping microwave background anisotropies at the
observed minimal levels. We also discuss possible microwave backgroun
d implications of such a transition and note a potentially observable
spectral signature at lambda similar to 0.18 mm as well as a weak line
near the peak in the microwave background.
