TL;DR: This review is meant to provide a guide to the scientific themes that will underlie the activity of the group during the preparation of the Euclid mission and discusses five broad topics: dark energy and modified gravity, dark matter, initial conditions, basic assumptions and questions of methodology in the data analysis.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the non-linear evolution of the matter power spectrum by using a large set of high-resolution N-body/hydrodynamic simulations and quantified the role of baryonic physics (cooling, star formation and feedback recipes) on the warm dark matter induced suppression.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate potential constraints from cosmic shear on the dark matter particle mass, assuming all dark matter is made up of light thermal relic particles, using analytical fits to linear warm dark matter power spectra.

TL;DR: Euclid and the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) are poised to dramatically change the astronomy landscape early in the next decade as discussed by the authors, with the combination of high-cadence, deep, wide-field optical photometry from LSST with high-resolution, wide field optical and near-infrared photometry and spectroscopy from Euclid will be powerful for addressing a wide range of astrophysical questions.

TL;DR: The current state of the theory of large scale structure in a warm dark matter (WDM) cosmological model is reviewed in this paper, focusing on the non-linear modelling of the matter power spectrum and on the mass function of dark matter haloes.
