Outline- The Universe as Origami

- Lagrangian coordinates: perhaps underappreciated for simulation analysis

- Finding stream-crossings/caustics: a parameter-free morphology classifier

- Stretching/contraction of the “origami sheet” in position space also useful for halo finding

- 1d: particle in a halo if its order wrt any another particle is swapped compared to the original Lagrangian ordering - 3d: particle in a halo if this condition holds along 3 orthogonal axes (2 axes=filament, 1 axis=wall, 0 axes=void)- Need some diagonal axes as well- Finds places where streams have crossed

How to group halo particles once they’re identified?

- Eulerian: group adjacent particles in Voronoi tessellation(Lagrangian grouping better?)- Halo mass function(Knebe et al, Halo-finder comparison):

How much does the origami sheet stretch?

- Look at spatial part, ∇L⋅ψ. Lagrangian displacement ψ = xf - xi. ∇L⋅ψ ~ -δL.- ∇L⋅ψ = -3: halo formation, where ∇L⋅xf = 0.

Duality between structures inEulerian, Lagrangian coordinates

- Blobs become “points” (haloes)

- Discs between blobs become filaments

- Haloes look like voids in Lagrangian space!

- Duality in Kofman et al. 1991, adhesion approx.

Filaments often stretched out.

- Could allow access to smaller-scale initial fluctuations than naively you would think?

- An interesting method to detect structures, independent of density
