Hot dark matter particles have large thermal velocities at teg and hence cannot be gravitationally bound on small scales (free streaming). In models of formation of structure based on linear adiabatic perturbations all inhomogeneities on scales smaller than the maximal free streaming length λj are washed out. The mass λj inside a bail of radius exceeds the galaxy mass. Hence in the above models galaxies can only lorm by fragmentation of larger-scale objects. This is a severe problem.
