Using three data sets, the abundance of the clusters at $z=0$, moderate $z$ and the correlation length, we show that constraints on the non-Gaussianity and the amplitude of fluctuations and the density parameter can be obtained. We obtain an upper bound for $\\Omega_m$ and a lower bound for the non-Gaussianity and the amplitude of the fluctuations. Using the abundance of clusters at $z \\sim 0.6$, for the spectrum parameterized by cold dark matter (CDM) shape parameter $\\Gamma=0.23$, we obtain an upper bound for the density parameter $\\Omega_m \\sim 0.5$ and lower bounds for the amplitude $\\sigma_8 \\sim 0.7$ and for the non-Gaussianity of fluctuations $G \\sim 2$ $(m \\sim 200)$, where G=1 for Gaussian.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "1999-11-01T13:17:46.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "cdm model", "constraints", "upper bound", "density parameter", "lower bound" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 7, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 496087 } } }
