Finite Tsallis gravitational partition function for a system of galaxies

Abstract

In this paper, we will study the large scale structure formation using the gravitational partition function. We will assertively argue that the system of gravitating galaxies can be analyzed using the Tsallis statistical mechanics. The divergences in the Tsallis gravitational partition function can be removed using the mathematical riches of the generalization of the dimensional regularization (GDR). The finite gravitational partition function thus obtained will be used to evaluate the thermodynamics of the system of galaxies and thus, to understand the clustering of galaxies in the universe. The correlation function which is beleived to contain the information of clustering of galaxies will also be discussed in this formalism.
