It is shown that a spin system with long range interactions can be converted into a chaotic dynamical system that is differentiable and low-dimensional. The thermodynamic limit of the spin system is then equivalent to studying the long term…

The stochastic properties of cosmological perturbations are best defined through the Fourier expansion in a finite box. I discuss the reasons for that with reference the curvature perturbation, and explore some issues arising from it.
