abstract = "We present a model that unifies the cosmic star formation rate
(CSFR), obtained through the hierarchical structure formation
scenario, with the (Galactic) local star formation rate (SFR). It
is possible to use the SFR to generate a CSFR mapping through the
density probability distribution functions commonly used to study
the role of turbulence in the star-forming regions of the Galaxy.
We obtain a consistent mapping from redshift z ~ 20 up to the
present (z = 0). Our results show that the turbulence exhibits a
dual character, providing high values for the star formation
efficiency ({\'a}eñ ~ 0.32) in the redshift interval z ~ 3.5 20
and reducing its value to {\'a}eñ = 0.021 at z = 0. The value of
the Mach number (\crit), from which {\'a}eñ rapidly
decreases, is dependent on both the polytropic index (\Γ)
and the minimum density contrast of the gas. We also derive
Larsons first law associated with the velocity dispersion
({\'a}Vrmsñ) in the local star formation regions. Our model shows
good agreement with Larsons law in the ~10 50 pc range, providing
typical temperatures T0 ~ 10 80 K for the gas associated with star
formation. As a consequence, dark matter halos of great mass could
contain a number of halos of much smaller mass, and be able to
form structures similar to globular clusters. Thus, Larsons law
emerges as a result of the very formation of large-scale
structures, which in turn would allow the formation of galactic
systems, including our Galaxy.",
