Clusters and cosmic onions : a description of galaxy dynamics in the quasi-linear regime

This thesis investigates the dynamics of galaxies around clusters in the quasi-linear regime, with the ultimate aim of providing cluster mass constraints which can be combined with weak lensing measurements in order to perform tests of General Relativity. Dark matter simulations are populated with g...
