1766: 1506: 380: 735: 67:. Later, as radiation redshifts away, these become mass perturbations, and they start to grow linearly. Only long after that, starting with small mass scales and advancing over time to larger mass scales, do the perturbations actually collapse to form (for example) galaxies or clusters of galaxies, in so-called hierarchical structure formation (see 139: 507: 1761:{\displaystyle f(\delta _{M}>\delta _{c})=\int _{\delta _{c}}^{\infty }d\delta _{M}~{\frac {1}{{\sqrt {2\pi }}\sigma (M)}}\exp \left(-{\frac {1}{2}}{\frac {\delta _{M}^{2}}{\sigma ^{2}(M)}}\right)={\frac {1}{2}}\operatorname {erfc} \left({\frac {1}{\sqrt {2}}}{\frac {\delta _{c}}{\sigma (M)}}\right)~.} 948: 1950: 1087:
In other words, fluctuations are small at some early cosmological time, and grow until they cross a threshold ending in gravitational collapse into a halo. These perturbations are modeled linearly, even though the eventual collapse is itself a non-linear process.

Qualitatively, the prediction is that the mass distribution is a power law for small masses, with an exponential cutoff above some characteristic mass that increases with time. Such functions had previously been noted by Schechter as observed
