Nonlinear perturbations of cosmological scalar fields

We present a covariant formalism for studying nonlinear perturbations of scalar fields. In particular, we consider the case of two scalar fields and introduce the notion of adiabatic and isocurvature covectors. We obtain differential equations governing the evolution of these two covectors, as well as the evolution equation for the covector associated with the curvature perturbation. The form o...

Non–Linear Evolution of Cosmological Perturbations

In these lecture notes I review the theory of the non–linear evolution of cosmological perturbations in a self–gravitating collisionless medium, with vanishing vorticity. The problem is first analyzed in the context of the Newtonian approximation, where the basic properties of the Zel’dovich, frozen–flow and adhesion algorithms are introduced. An exact general relativistic formalism is then pre...

Cosmological Perturbations: Entering the Non-Linear Regime

We consider one-loop corrections (non-linear corrections beyond leading order) to the bispectrum and skewness of cosmological density fluctuations induced by gravitational evolution, focusing on the case of Gaussian initial conditions and scale-free initial power spectra, P (k) ∝ k. As has been established by comparison with numerical simulations, tree-level (leading order) perturbation theory ...

Evolution Equation for Non-linear Cosmological Perturbations

We present a novel approach, based entirely on the gravitational potential, for studying the evolution of non-linear cosmological matter perturbations. Starting from the perturbed Einstein equations, we integrate out the non-relativistic degrees of freedom of the cosmic fluid and obtain a single closed equation for the gravitational potential. We then verify the validity of the new equation by ...

Nonlinear perturbations of cosmological scalar fields with non-standard kinetic terms

We adopt a covariant formalism to derive exact evolution equations for nonlinear perturbations, in a universe dominated by two scalar fields. These scalar fields are characterized by non-canonical kinetic terms and an arbitrary field space metric, a situation typically encountered in inflationary models inspired by string theory. We decompose the nonlinear scalar perturbations into adiabatic an...
