On the relativistic mass function and averaging in cosmology
  The general relativistic description of cosmological structure formation is
an important challenge from both the theoretical and the numerical point of
views. In this paper we present a brief prescription for a general relativistic
treatment of structure formation and a resulting mass function on galaxy
cluster scales in a highly generic scenario. To obtain this we use an exact
scalar averaging scheme together with the relativistic generalization of
Zel'dovich's approximation (RZA) that serves as a closure condition for the
averaged equations.
