We examine the cosmological redshift-space distortion effect on the power s
pectrum of objects at high redshifts,which is an unavoidable observational
contamination in general relativistic cosmology. In particular, we consider
the nonlinear effects of density and velocity evolution using high-resolut
ion N-body simulations in cold dark matter models. We find that theoretical
modeling on the basis of the fitting formulae of nonlinear density and vel
ocity fields accurately describes the numerical results, especially in quas
i-nonlinear regimes. These corrections for nonlinear effects are essential
in order to use the cosmological redshift-space distortion as a cosmologica
l test. We perform a feasibility test to derive constraints from the future
catalogs of high-redshift quasars using our theoretical modeling and resul
ts of N-body simulations. Applying the present methodology to the future da
ta from ongoing surveys of high-redshift galaxies and quasars will provide
a useful tool to constrain a geometry of the universe.
