A new dynamical paradigm merging quantum dynamics with cosmology is discussed. Time evolution involves a genuine passage of time, which distinguishes the formalism from those where dynamics in space is equivalent to statics in space-time.…

We uncover a geometric organization of the differential equations for the wavefunction coefficients of conformally coupled scalars in power-law cosmologies. To do this, we introduce a basis of functions inspired by a decomposition of the…

Cosmological correlators capture the spatial fluctuations imprinted during the earliest episodes of the universe. While they are generally very non-trivial functions of the kinematic variables, they are known to arise as solutions to…

The scale-free nature of gravitational interaction in both Newtonian gravity and the general theory of relativity gives rise to the concept of self-similarity, where solutions are scale invariant. As a result of this property, the governing…
