Vardagliga ting, så som detta papper, är sammanställt av vanlig materia. Det vi ser med våra ögon och genom teleskop när vi tittar upp mot stjärnorna är också sammanställt utav vanlig materia. Det visar sig att denna materia endast fyller vårt kända universum till 5 %. Resten kallas för Mörk Materia och Mörk Energi, där den föregående fyller universum med 27 % och den snarare till 68 %. Mörk MaterIn this thesis, I present a case where Dark Matter subhalos would annihilate at some stage in their lifetime. The implication of this scenario could potentially aid the Missing Satellites and the Cusp-Core density profile problem.

Valutakursrisk har historiskt hanterats med negativt korrelerad eller okorrelerade instrument för att minska den totala risken i en portfölj.

Digitala valutor är ett nyExchange rate risk has historically been dealt with through negatively correlated or uncorrelated instruments in order to reduce the overall risk in a portfolio. As a result of an integrated world, such instruments have become increasingly rare. Commodities such as gold have demonstrated a negative relationship, therefore much of the underlying theory in this thesis is strongly related to gold. Di
