Abstract
We investigate the consequences of flat, dark-matter dominated cosmogonies with hybrid isocurvature and adiabatic initial perturbations and with Harrison-Zel'dovich primordial spectrum normalised to the $COBE$-DMR two-year measurements. We show that whilst the $COBE$-DMR data alone shows no preference for a specific admixture of these modes, acceptable combinations are strongly constrained by other observational data. Nevertheless, in some cases a suitable mixture of these modes still may be used in an attempt to avoid some of the observed problems of purely adiabatic models. Specifically, we consider critical density, cold dark matter (CDM) and mixed dark matter (MDM) models.Comment: Two uuencoded compressed Postscript files containing (1) 19 pages manuscript, (2) four figures (tarred together).
