Abstract: We consider a spherically symmetric distribution of dust and show that it is possible, under general physically reasonable conditions, for an overdensity to evolve to an underdensity (and vice versa). We find the conditions under which this occurs and illustrate it on a class of regular Lemaitre-Tolman-Bondi solutions. The existence of this phenomenon, if verified, would have the result that the topology of density contours, assumed fixed in standard structure formation theories, would have to change and that luminous matter would not trace the dark matter distribution so well.

Review text

It is shown that, for the simplest inhomogeneous cosmologies -- the Lemaître-Tolman-Bondi models for spherically symmetric dust -- a change from central density maximum to central density minimum (or vice-versa) during the evolution of the inhomogeneity is entirely possible, and a numerical example is presented. The models considered are completely physically reasonable for post-decoupling inhomogeneities. The existence of this phenomenon, if verified, would have the result that the topology of density contours, assumed fixed in standard structure formation theories, would have to change and that luminous matter would not trace the dark matter distribution so well.
