For
a
power-law
matter
spectrum
, smoothed
variance
scales
as
σ
∝
M
−
β
with
β
=
(
n
+
3
)
/6
. Differentiating the Press-Schechter collapsed
fraction
gives
a
halo mass function
proportional to
M
β
−
2
exp
[
−
(
M
/
M

,
ch
)
2
β
]
.
A
constant
stellar-to-halo mass ratio
preserves both exponents and rescales characteristic
mass
and normalization.
