Abstract: (arXiv)
The mixed cold-hot dark matter cosmological model (CHDM) with Ωtot=1\Omega_{tot}=1 and a falling power-law initial spectrum of Gaussian adiabatic perturbations (n>1n>1) is tested using recent obserbational data. It is shown that its fit to the data becomes worse with the growth of n1n-1, and may be considered as unreasonable for n>1.1n>1.1 for all possible values of the Hubble constant. Thus, the CHDM model with a falling initial spectrum is worse than the same model with the approximately flat (n1<0.1)(|n-1|<0.1) spectrum. On the other hand, the CHDM model provides a rather good fit to the data if nn lies in the range (0.91.0)(0.9-1.0), the Hubble constant H0<60H_0 < 60 km/s/Mpc (H0<55H_0 < 55 for n=1n=1) and the neutrino energy density Ων<0.25\Omega_{\nu}< 0.25. So, the CHDM model provides the best possibility for the realization of the simplest variants of the inflationary scenario having the effective slope n(0.950.97)n\approx (0.95-0.97) between galaxy and horizon scales, including a modest contribution of primordial gravitational wave background to large-angle ΔT/T\Delta T/T fluctuations of the cosmic microwave background (resulting in the increase of their total {\it rms} amplitude by (510)%(5-10)\%) expected in some variants. A classification of cosmological models according to the number of fundamental parameters used to fit observational data is presented, too.
