| dc.description | We discuss structure formation in cosmic string theories. Emphasis is laid on the properties of the peculiar velocity field, non-gaussian features and clusters of galaxies. It is found that the predicted peculiar velocity field is quiet ($v<150$ km/s for $L>30 h^{-1}$ Mpc) for models with ($Ω_0 h \leq 0.2$) which is in disagreement with the results from POTENT at large scales ($>30h^{-1}$ Mpc), consistent, however, with the analysis of the peculiar velocity field of spiral galaxies by Giovannelli et al.. Using the Press-Schechter formalism we calculate the abundances of X-ray clusters. It is found that in CDM models a mass fluctuation $σ_8 = 0.6...0.7$ is needed with $Ω_0 h =0.1...0.2$ in order to explain the current data. | |
